A notable recognition for Edetària’s Finca La Pedrissa, selected by Decanter magazine for its article Full-bodied Spanish red wines: 10 top bottles worth seeking out. To find this single-vineyard Carinyena alongside some of Spain’s most celebrated reds is a welcome acknowledgement of both the wine’s quality and Terra Alta’s potential.
Made from 100% Carinyena, Finca La Pedrissa comes from old vines rooted in the distinctive, rocky soils of Terra Alta, in southern Catalonia. The challenging vineyard conditions naturally limit yields, concentrating the character of the fruit while allowing the variety’s individual personality to shine through.
Carinyena can produce wines of considerable depth and structure, but in the hands of Edetària it also offers nuance and a strong sense of place. The 2015 vintage is a compelling expression of this lesser-known corner of Catalonia, demonstrating that the region deserves a place in the conversation about Spain’s great vineyard wines.
The wine’s inclusion in Decanter’s selection alongside benchmark names such as Pingus, Vega Sicilia Único and Clos Mogador is a particularly pleasing moment for Edetària — and a reminder that some of Spain’s most interesting bottles are found beyond its better-known regions.
