The Beaujolais of Catalonia. Very light at 11.5%. A bit more tannic, though. — 10 days ago

Not bad for a non-vintage supermarket wine. Brings to mind Fruit Rollups and Capri-Sun, but in a good way. If you’re in the supermarket and you’re not sure what to trust, this is a safe bet. — 6 months ago

Chewy, big, oaky. Not flawed, but not for me. — 7 months ago

Classic Priorat garnatxa: delicate, nuanced, and everything you would come to expect from Catalunya’s favorite wine region. — 8 months ago

Cooperativa Falset Marçà

Slightly medicinal. A little bit harsh and bitter. Still drinkable, though. — 15 days ago

What an amazing blend! Imagine your typical Gewürztraminer made subtle by its mixture with traditional Catalan varietals. I’ve found that certain meals—carbonara, some east Asian dishes, and blended soups—need a white wine in a tall, skinny bottle that doesn’t suck. This is it. — 5 months ago

9.1

Confirms my theory that Empordà is a deeply underrated wine region. A big, beautiful Carignan and a bit of Grenache. I think it benefited much from the five years in the bottle. Will be looking out for this again. — 8 months ago

Brings to mind Thompson Seedless raisins. Like a port in table wine form. If you’re at a Bonpreu, this may be your safest bet amongst the reds. — 15 days ago

9.2

A perfectly balanced blend of garnatxa negra, syrah, and carinyena. Not too chewy or oaky, but instead pleasantly large at 14.5% ABV carrying aromas and flavors of fresh plums, cherries, and raspberries. The 2023 vintage will likely get even better with a bit of aging, but it can definitely be drunk now. — 7 months ago
