About the Wine: Mather Teresina is the flagship wine of Celler Vinos Piñol, made with organically grown grapes in the high elevation region of Terra Alta, located south of Barcelona. The Piñol family has been wine growers for four generations and Mather Teresina pays homage to the family’s grandmother. Only around 500 cases are made for the world.
Tasting Notes: This wine has high-pitched aromas of red fruits, wet stones and spices. Juicy, sappy and impressively concentrated, with serious density to its lush black and blue fruit and floral flavors. With acidity that lends a “nervous” character to the fruit in the mouth, the wine’s tannins are substantial but fine grained. This is a wine of roundness, volume, depth and great length and should be enjoyed with rich foods like pheasant, duck, venison, fois gras, slow roasted pork and aged hard cheeses.

Vinos Pinol 2008 'Mather Teresina' Tinto, Terra Alta DO
Rating: 93
Opaque ruby. Aromas of cherry compote, dark berries, pipe tobacco and woodsmoke, with a spicy overtone. Juicy, sappy and impressively concentrated, with serious density to its lush black and blue fruit and floral pastille flavors. A lush, palate-coating wine that finishes with gentle tannins and excellent persistence.
