The Wine

Sindicat La Figuera works with 60 acres of Garnatxa, making wines from vines planted between 2o and 7o years ago. After harvest, the wines are fermented with wild yeasts in underground concrete tanks with minimum temperature control. After spending around 9 months aging on the fine lees, the wine is bottled after a light fining and filtration.

The vineyards' high altitude lends these wines hints of citrus and flowers that are not found in other wines in the area. To these impressions, add herbal notes and crunchy red fruit notes. The result is a light and fresh wine intended for near-term enjoyment.

Less than 4,600 cases produced.

The Winery

Since its founding in 1932, Sindicat La Figuera has been a grower's co-operative in the remote Montsant Mountains that surround the Priorat region like a ring around a finger. Montsant is a reliable producer of great wines at great prices, like most of the regions of Catalunya in Northeastern Spain.

To visit Figuera, you'll have to manage your way up very narrow, winding roads which will make you think "there's no WAY this can be a two-way road!" about 50 times an hour. But when you finally arrive, some 2,000 feet above sea level, you'll be struck by how the 80 full-time Figuerans seems inured to the stunning views available in all directions.
