Lo Món 2016 1500ml Magnum

Wine Description for Lo Món 2016 1500ml Magnum by Trossos del Priorat

Colour & Appearance

Deep glowing cherry red with violet reflections, hinting at the freshness of this Mediterranean wine.

Nose

An aromatic kaleidoscope of Priorat: black olives, juniper and Mediterranean herbs such as rosemary and thyme meet animal notes of leather and musk. Behind these unfold lush dark fruits – plum, blackberry, black cherries – with a hint of chocolate and violet in the background. The nose promises complexity and depth.

Palate

Here Lo Món reveals its true class. Rather than the expected power, it presents itself as surprisingly cool and elegant. The characteristic slate minerality of Priorat dominates and lends the wine a fascinating lightness. Juicy fruit meets precise acidity that gives the wine wings. A fine-meshed tannin structure provides structure and sensory tension without ever feeling heavy-handed. The balance between power and finesse is remarkable.

Finish

Persistent and spicy with lingering slate minerality and fine fruit. The tannins remain present but refined.

Terroir & Origin

From the legendary Priorat, where steep slate slopes produce wines of unique minerality. The barren landscape and Mediterranean climate fundamentally shape the character of this wine.

Grape Variety & Vinification

An international cuvée of Grenache, Carignan, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, combining traditional Priorat varieties with Bordeaux classicism. The magnum bottle promises optimal ageing conditions.

Food Pairing Recommendations

Perfect with grilled roast beef with Mediterranean roasted vegetables, braised ox cheeks with plum compote or bread dumplings with chanterelle ragout. The minerality harmonises wonderfully with mushroom dishes.

Special Features

A Priorat that impresses with elegance rather than opulence – the magnum bottling is ideal for special occasions or extended cellar ageing.
