GRAPE VARIETIES
Garnacha & cariñena
BOUQUET
Forthcoming and faintly floral aromas of blackberry fruit mingling with slightly chocolatey notes and hints of spice and toast from the oak.
PALATE
Blackberry fruit up front, fresh and well-rounded with a refined and un- aggressive structure. There is a definite element of charm here.
VITICULTURE
The vines grow in poor, rocky soils. They are planted on mountain slopes, in terraces at an altitude of between 100 and 700 meters above sea level. Most of the land in Priorat is composed of silica slate, known by the locals as “llicorella”, and it is the llicorella that gives Priorat wines their unique character
WINEMAKING
Average production per vine is often less than 1 kg, and this confers excellent properties upon the grapes, which become pure gold in the hands of a good winemaker.
