The 2011 L’Oratori is a cement-aged blend of 70% Garnacha Tinta, 15% Carinena and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon with a ripe, straightforward nose of blackberries, briary fruit and prunes and a medium to full-bodied palate which is fruit driven, with juicy tannins and moderate acidity. Drink now. Masia Carreras is the property if the Marti Fabra family since 1305. They have a long tradition as grape growers. More recently, in 1991, they started selling their wines in bottle. They have 27 hectares of vineyards with some very old Carinena, over 70 years of age. Serious, well-crafted Mediterranean wines here. A name to follow.

The 2009 L'Oratori is a blend of 50% Garnacha, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Carinena, raised for 12 months in barrel. It has a simple but joyful nose of kirsch and marmalade. The palate is sweet and a little alcoholic on the entry. Fleshy in texture with intense strawberry and spicy fruit, this is a well-made commercial, heady Emporda wine to drink over the next three years. Drink now-2016. Celler Marti Fabra has been owned by the same family since 1293 and apparently, they are in possession of documents that indicate vines as far back as 1305 (vintage unavailable here.) The unfertile slate soils offer minerality to their wines and yields are kept naturally low. They focus primarily on Garnacha and Carinena, plus a little Moscatel.

Celler Marti Fabra’s lineup begins with the 2008 L’Oratori, a blend of 50% Garnacha, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 20% Carinena aged in stainless steel for 12 months. Boysenberry jam aromas jump from the glass of this smooth-textured, ripe, nicely proportioned red. Drink it over the next 6 years. Importer: Jorge Ordonez, Fine Estates From Spain, Dedham, MA; tel.
