Description
In a nutshell:
A powerful and seductive Priorat from isolated, inland Catalonia.
The lowdown:
Priorat is from where the world's best reds to be made from Garnacha (Garnatxa in Catalan) come from. This example also contains about 30% of Priorat's other main red grape, Carignano. Although not certified as such, the vines for this are organically farmed by Jordi Masdeu. After fermentation about a third of the wine was aged for a short period in oak which is intended to round out the texture rather than impart a strong oak character and after a few months ageing the wine is then blended and bottled. The result is a wine which is powerful and seductive with blueberry fruit on the nose and the classic flinty mineral character of the wines from this region. Juicy and fruit driven with tender tannins and plenty of acidity it's smooth and luscious on the palate with a grippy texture, hints of herbs and spices and a long, fleshy berry and black cherry finish.
When to drink:
Made for drinking in its youth this is an authoritative expression of the wines being made in this part of Catalonia.
Suitable for Vegans, Organic
