Wine information
This organically certified red wine is made from Garnacha Tinta grapes. The Trossos del Priorat winery and its vineyards with the famous Priorat slate soils are located in the municipality of Gratallops, in the somewhat warmer part of the wine-growing region. L'Estaca is in style a typical juicy soft and round Garnacha from the Mediterranean region. The wine matured for 12 months in French barriques.
Color
Cherry Red
Nose
L'Estaca has distinct notes of ripe fruits such as cherry, plum and blackberry, as well as herbaceous and balsamic hints. The bouquet is relatively complex and has a warm, Mediterranean character underpinned by an earthy minerality.
Palate
On the palate, the red wine takes up the traditional Priorat style, where fullness of body and alcoholic warmth play an important role. The ripe fruit is accompanied by a certain peppery spiciness. The growth has silky tannins, feels supple, and the slightly sweet finish is of good length. For all the Mediterranean impression in the mouth, there is also enough acidity to give the wine freshness and backbone.
