Les Manyes 2013 1500ml Magnum

Wine Description for Les Manyes 2013 1500ml Magnum by Terroir al Limit

Colour & Appearance

A purple-red with violet reflections and a dark core presents itself in the glass – the typical colour intensity of a mature Grenache from the Priorat, which already betrays its origin visually.

Nose

Open-hearted and expressive, a bouquet of dark fruits unfolds: blackberries, blueberries and raspberries merge with dried fruit and ethereal notes of thyme and rosemary. The Mediterranean garrigue blends in elegantly, while floral accents of lavender and sage complete the aromatic dance.

Palate

Already on the entry, the Les Manyes 2013 shows itself to be accessible and charming. The juicy fruit is underpinned by the characteristic Llicorella minerality – those slate soils of the Priorat that give the wine freshness and a cool character despite its concentration. Silkily contoured tannins sketch the structure with a fine pen, while the 13.5% alcohol is wonderfully integrated. A brilliant linearity shapes the palate – straight as an arrow and as deep as the night.

General Information

Terroir al Limit vinifies this 100% Grenache from the legendary Priorat with artisanal precision. The 2013 vintage shows the grape variety in its most elegant form – substantial in its foundation, but with the finesse of a great Burgundy. The magnum bottle promises optimal ageing conditions.

Food Pairings

Harmonises perfectly with Parmigiana, grilled salt cod with smoked peppers and rosemary or roasted duck breast with spiced cherries and bay leaf. The Mediterranean character of the wine complements both vegetarian and meat dishes with southern flair.

Special Features

Be sure to decant and serve in Burgundy glasses to bring out the complex aromatics to their best advantage. A Grenache of stature, which masterfully combines the minerality of the Priorat with the fruit abundance of the grape variety.
