Fortunate to have tasted some absolutely stunning wines while in the Terra Alta region of Spain last week, including this delicious wine from Herencia Altés. La Peluda is from the little known hairy Garnacha, translated, Peluda literally means hairy—despite the name, the wine itself is delicious with earthy, seductive aromas brimming with underbrush, bright red berries, lavender and peppercorn. The palate is as fresh and expressive as the nose, steeped in earthy Rooibos tea and framed with chewy tannins. Sample
