The 2010 Nus is a blend of 70% Garnacha and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, with a sweet nose of red fruit (cherries, strawberries) intermixed with pepper and herbaceous notes, licorice and some flower aromas in the background. The medium-bodied palate reveals a fresh, serious wine with good balance, fresh acidity, polished tannins and a pleasant licorice note in the finish. This should age gracefully. Drink 2014-2020.
There are not many new, modern, young wineries in an appellation like Tarragona. Vinyes del Terrer was created in 2003 by the Morell family to produce wines from the grapes planted since 1989 in their estate in Vila Seca, where the argilo-calcareous soils have some chalky rocks with marine fossils that are locally known by the name lumaquella. They believe they have a unique terroir that expresses the Mediterranean climate with the freshness and minerality from the soils.
