The wine critic James Suckling rates the Herència Altés wines

The internationally acclaimed wine critic and journalist, James Suckling, has tasted some of the Herència Altés wines and here are his impressions and scores:

La Pilosa 2022

An appealing garnatxa peluda that exhibits clarity with its light but bright ruby color. Evidently mineral, this has some rose hips, white pepper, fresh grapefruit and raspberries. Flavorful, with sleek tannins, this is core
Mediterranean elegance. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink now.

Lo Grau de l'Inquisidor 2020

Glossy, ripe berries with peppercorns, tar and black chocolate. Medium- to full-bodied with fine-
grained, powdery tannins and a broad, spicy finish of excellent length. Such a consistent, outstanding syrah.
From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink or hold.

La Serra Negre 2022

Attractive wet-earth decadence with moss, cranberries, white pepper and minerals. Medium-bodied with bright, fluid acidity and soft, al-dente tannins. A fresh, delicately minerally expression of Carinyena and Garnatxa Negra. Very drinkable. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Enjoy now.

La Serra Blanc 2021

Creamy vanilla, nectarines and brioche on the nose follow through to a medium- to full-bodied palate with fresh white fruit and a creamy, lengthy finish. Phenolic yet composed and long. 100% Garnatxa Blanca. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink now.

La Borrassona 2022

There’s a subtle mineral tinge to the fresh brambly berries and grapefruit. Textured and elegant, with a medium body and chalky tannins. Very transparent, with a minerally finish. 100% Garnatxa Negra. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink now.

L'Estel 2022

I like the mineral and spice edge to the aromas of fruit, olives and mussel shells. Flavorful and soft, but not hefty or flabby, with a medium body and round tannins. Garnatxa Negra, Syrah and Garnatxa Peluda. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Enjoy now.

Benufet 2023

Fine, creamy nose of nectarines, wet stones and touches of sour cream and yogurt. Bright and tangy yet
composed, with a medium body and fresh acidity. Excellent volume, with a pure, medium-long finish. Garnatxa Blanca. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink now.
