Much like La Basseta, La Creu Alta has evolved over the last two decades. Originally based on old-vine Carinyena planted on schist right where the villages of La Vilella Alta, Torroja, and Escaladei meet, La Creu Alta for many years was supplemented with varying amounts of Garnatxa and/or Syrah. With a growing appreciation for pure, old-vine Carinyena in the Priorat and the recognition of La Creu Alta as one of the best sites in Vilella Alta, Mas Alta released the 2016 vintage as 100% Carinyena sourced entirely from this esteemed site.
