Creveta Negre, A Young Red from Terra Alta

Creveta Negre comes from Terra Alta, a Catalan wine region where Garnacha has deep roots. This young red blends Garnacha Negra and Syrah in a style that feels fresh, direct, and linked to its origin. As a result, it becomes a Garnacha Syrah from Terra Alta with honest regional character. It also offers a clear message for professional Spanish wine selections.

Celler La Botera and Batea

Celler La Botera produces Creveta Negre in Batea, a village with a strong grower identity. In 1986, five winegrowing families from Batea founded the winery. Together, they joined forces to work their vineyards and bring their own fruit to market. This history gives the wine a grounded sense of place. However, it does not rely on trend or excess. Instead, it speaks of a village, a landscape, and generations of vineyard work.

Where the Roads Meet

The name Creveta adds emotional value to the bottle. It evokes a small cross, or a discreet sign along the road. In this sense, it suggests direction, memory, and a point where different paths meet. The label carries the phrase “On els camins es troben,” meaning “where the roads meet.” Therefore, the idea fits naturally with this red wine. Creveta Negre stands between inland Terra Alta and Mediterranean influence. It also stands between family tradition and a fresh way of presenting Spanish red wine.

Garnacha Negra and Syrah

The blend gives Creveta Negre its immediate charm. Garnacha Negra brings juicy red fruit, Mediterranean warmth, and an easy-drinking character. Meanwhile, Syrah adds a subtle spicy edge, colour, and depth. Together, they create a balanced young red from Terra Alta. It is fresh, smooth, expressive, and ready to drink.

A Clear Story for the Market

Creveta Negre offers an easy but meaningful story. It combines a recognized Spanish appellation, a family winery from Batea, a young red wine style, and a name linked to roads and crossings. Moreover, it shows the approachable side of Terra Alta. Above all, it feels vivid, sincere, Mediterranean, and rooted in the quiet strength of its landscape.

PRODUCTION METHOD

Creveta Negre is a young red wine made from 50% Garnacha Negra and 50% Syrah. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks, keeping the fruit clear, fresh, and direct. The wine spends three weeks in contact with the grapes before pressing, but the extraction is handled with a soft touch to avoid hard tannins or excessive colour concentration. This gives Creveta Negre a lively, bright red appearance rather than a dark or heavy profile. Native yeasts from the estate vineyards guide fermentation, adding a natural link to place. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation then brings softness, roundness, and gentle dairy notes, making the wine smooth, approachable, and ready to enjoy young.

AGING

Creveta Negre is released as a young wine, shaped in stainless steel to preserve freshness, fruit intensity, and the smooth texture gained through spontaneous malolactic fermentation.

TASTING NOTE

Creveta Negre shows a bright, youthful red colour, vivid without being overly dark. The nose is open and fruit-driven, with wild berries, red cherry, and a subtle Mediterranean warmth. On the palate, it balances freshness, medium body, and soft tannins, with Garnacha Negra bringing juicy fruit and Syrah adding depth without heaviness. The finish is smooth, fresh, and easy to drink, making it a versatile young red from Terra Alta.
