"Possibly the single greatest dry red wine value in the world, this is an unbelievable wine … any wine retailer worth his weight should be stockpiling this wine next to the cash register ...I don’t understand how anyone can make wines this good to sell at this price… 90 points.” Robert Parker, the Wine Advocate #203.

Catalan Eagle takes its name from the soaring Eagles flying above the winery in the beautiful Tierra Alta, home too of some of Catalonia's best wines.

Crunchy, bright fruit with a touch of oak and soft tannins.

Lovely juicy and unoaked style of Rioja from old bush vine fruit, packaged with a distinctive contemporary label.

Bright red fruits, smooth and medium bodied.

A multi award winning soft, juicy, medium bodied red wine with floral, red and black fruit notes on the nose; red cherry, raspberry, cinnamon spice and smoke notes on the palate.

At the time of release, this wine showed a bright crimson red colour. On the nose, aromas of sweet ripe fruit and delicate notes of smokiness. On the palate, tastes of cherry, plum and blackberries combined with gentle clean aromas of oak. Elegant mouthfeel, a full body and a fresh and fruity aftertaste. This wine still has plenty of life in it and should drink very well for the next 10-15 years.

This wine shows a deep red colour with shades of ruby on the rim of the glass. To the nose, at the time of release, it revealed a delicate balance between ripe red berry aromas and those of spices and smokiness. Over time, the bouquet has grown more complex, showing aromas of leather, coffee beans and raisins. Mouthfeel is as firm, elegant and smooth as one should expect from a Rioja Gran Reserva, with a surprisingly long and fresh finish.

Rich and classic, this has long been one of the most respected of its kind.

Formiga is a wine that gently soothes the palate!
