La Creu Alta is a blend of roughly 50% old-vine Carinyena, 30% Garnatxa and 20% Syrah. The fruit comes from vineyards in the village of La Vilella Alta with one vineyard just across the border in Torroja. With the concentration, dark fruit and minerality that only old vine Carinyena can provide when grown in the schistous soils of the Priorat, La Creu Alta is a dense wine with tremendous polish and structure leavened with the spiciness and freshness provided by the Syrah and Garnacha.
