WINE DESCRIPTION

Bodegas Mas Alta La Basseta is a premium wine produced by Bodegas Mas Alta, a renowned winery located in the Priorat appellation of Spain. The vineyard features steep slopes and terraces, with vines planted in slate soils that impart a unique minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a bold and complex blend of Grenache, Carignan, and Syrah, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and earthy undertones. La Basseta is a perfect representation of the Priorat style, showcasing the region's ability to produce world-class wines with a distinct sense of place.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This full-bodied red blend from Bodegas Mas Alta La Basseta is a complex, yet balanced wine.Rich aromas of brambly blackberry, dark cherry, and earthy undertones mingle with hints of cocoa and leather. On the palate, this wine is beautifully structured and shows a good concentration of dark fruit flavors backed by firm, yet supple tannins. The finish is long and spicy with a pleasant hint of oak.
