El Xitxarel-lo
Penedés Xarel-lo
While the Catalan vulgarity all over the bottle is quite the conversation piece, the wine is far from vulgar. If you want a conversation starter for a first date, this is the choice! — 10 years ago
Heretat Figueras de Manlleu
Roig +500 Garnatxa Negra Merlot
A lovely organic from the grape growers in the upper mountains of Penedes. +500 comes from the fact the grapes are all grown above 500 meters, giving great depth to this wine. Raim500.com is a grape growers association, and this is their first vintage under their own label in collaboration with Josep Mitjans, winemaker at Loxarel. — 10 years ago

Impressed with how well this one matured. — 10 years ago
Bodegas Torre del Veguer
XV Penedés Garraf Xarello Vermell
A new label for Torre del Veguer is more of a reflection of just how fun and tasty this wine is. A unique blend of two types of Xarel•lo makes this a great wine with dinner or one for sitting on the beach watching the Mediterranean. love it! — 10 years ago
Marco Abella
Òlbia Priorat White Blend 2014
Tasty combination of macabeo and garnatxa blanc - Marco Abella left out its typical third grape for the 2014 vintage as they weren't happy with the harvest. I prefer the 50/50 combo of this vintage! — 10 years ago
Cooperative Garriguella
Tramuntanart Emporda Garnatxa Negra Syrah Rosé
Cooperativa Garriguella launched a new line of wines - a red, a rosat, and a white in collaboration with artist Carles Bros from Llança, who did the labels for them. This one, the rosat, is not a typical rosat. It's more violet due to the blending of Garnatxa Negre and Syrah. In a word, it's sassy! — 10 years ago
DiNaRells
Empordà Garnacha 2014
A smooth and fun blend of Garnatxa, Cabernet, and Merlot, and for its price (under €3,50) it was one of the best table wines from the Emporda region of Catalunya. — 10 years ago
Loxarel
OPS Penedès Garnatxa Negra Samsó 2013
Josep Mitjans continues to be a top winemaker in Penedes and Ops is a great reflection of his love for Carignan and Garnatxa. Ops follows biodynamic traditions and is named after the Roman goddess of the harvest. Fruity and potent with smooth tannins. — 10 years ago

My love affair with Marco Abella continues. Bold, powerful, and loads of flavor. Garnatxa and Carignan combined to bring forward the personality of their terroir. — 10 years ago
