- Colour
Bright ruby red with violet reflections, more transparent than deeply dark – typical of the house’s delicate style.
- Nose
Violets and red cherries meet wet schist, accompanied by garrigue herbs, black pepper and a hint of graphite – cool, precise, inviting.
- Palate
Juicy and taut, with fine-grained tannins, lively acidity and a saline minerality that recalls the schist terraces; notes of raspberry, plum and a touch of bitter almond in the long, clear finish.
- Character
A Priorat of subtle tones – cool, precise and impressively drinkable, without denying the region’s power, yet with a lightness rarely found in this appellation.
- Pairing
Rack of lamb with rosemary and black olives, grilled octopus with peppers and potatoes, or a mature Manchego with quince paste.
- Notes
Whole-bunch infusion without pigeage since 2009 gives this Carignan a silky texture and an aromatic profile that evokes Burgundian finesse rather than Mediterranean power – biodynamically farmed across 15 hectares, harvested early to preserve freshness.
