Situated minutes away from La Vierge Rouge, in the foothills of the Albères mountains, La Negra is a beautiful parcel of old vines of Carignan and Grenache Noir. In the spring the first signs of life in the vineyard are accompanied by the mimosas flowering between the vines and the mountains. The name of the wine is an homage to the song La Negra by Mercedes Sosa.
