Description
96 points Wine Advocate
"The 2021 Dits del Terra shows lower alcohol and more freshness, and it has an herbal note and feels very young and undeveloped. Like most of the 2021s, they shortened the time of aging, and it was completely in concrete and didn't touch any oak (they sold all the foudres). There's purity and precision, elegance and freshness."
96 points James Suckling
"Reductive and a little decadent on the nose with some dried roses, ripe berries, wet earth and moss. Extremely bright and lively on the fleshy palate with lots of sap, succulent and fine, firm tannins. Meaty fruit with so much verve and purity. Long and broad finish. Drink or hold."
Jancis Robinson
"Carinyena. Transparent crimson. Rich, layered nose with a hint of gaminess. Real structure and depth here. I assume this is from some of their oldest vines? There’s quite a depth of flavour and great length. Much more long-term than the Arbossar. 17/20 points."
Vinous Reverie Notes
Dits del Terra gets its name from the gnarled, nearly 85-year-old vines of Carinyena that look like ancient fingers clawing into the schist soils of this site near the village of Torroja.
