Nuria Altes was born in Batea (Terra Alta) into the latest generation of a family which has worked with and taken care of their winemaking heritage over the years and passed their love for the land on to her. Rafael De Haan, was born in Kent (England) to an English father and Spanish mother. His passion for wine led him to discover the Terra Alta region and much more – a family and life project. Experiences growing up among vines and a passion for the world of wine and this landscape encouraged Nuria and Rafa to start working the family vineyards in 2010 and develop the project we now know as Herencia Altes. Organic wines born from the love of a land and a commitment to care for it Herencia Altes is a family-owned winery in Terra Alta devoted to vine-growing and the production of fresh and elegant wines. We are firmly committed to organic agriculture and sustainable winemaking and show the utmost respect for the environment and a rich biodiversity which strengthens and protects these lands and their local surroundings. Taking care of natural and historical heritage by conserving old vines, landscapes, and traditional dry-stone walls means we can continue to produce wines in such a way that future generations will also be able to enjoy these lands and their fruits. We work with local grapes, especially Garnatxa varieties. Our flagship grape and the symbol of our lands is Garnatxa Blanca. We aim to create wines in as natural and respectful a way as possible while striving for honesty and varietal elegance in the finished result. Taste our wines and feel yourself swept away to a special place, Terra Alta: experience the character of the land, our terroir, and a way of life, Herencia Altes.
