Wine description for Lo Món 2017 from Trossos del Priorat
Colour & appearance
Bright purple-red with violet reflections in the glass - a wine that visually announces its Mediterranean origin and maturity.
Nose
The bouquet pays homage to the classic Priorat style of the late 90s: concentrated black cherry and mulberry meet spicy barrique notes. Cedar wood, graphite and liquorice flash in between. The twelve months of ageing in French oak have left clear but not dominant traces - a balancing act that succeeds.
Palate
Lo Món shows itself in all its opulence here. The cuvée of Garnacha, Cariñena, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah develops a dense, multi-layered structure with sweet, spicy wood flavours, which are countered by a mineral slate undertone. The wine is powerful, but never heavy - a full-bodied red wine with Mediterranean warmth and surprising freshness. The tannins are velvety and sweetish, the finish is soft and balanced, carried by ripe, dark fruit.
General information
Trossos del Priorat cultivates its vineyards organically on the legendary Llicorella slate soils of Priorat. The 2017 vintage with 14.5% alcohol represents the style of wine that has made the region internationally famous: concentrated, barrique-influenced, mineral. The combination of indigenous and international grape varieties was Priorat's recipe for success at the turn of the millennium - Lo Món continues this tradition with aplomb.
Food pairing suggestions
This powerful red wine calls for equally substantial food. Ideal with Braised lamb, Beef cheeks in red wine sauce or Braised brisket. Also to Game like Saddle of venison or Wild boar ragout an excellent choice. The opulence of the wine harmonises perfectly with matured Manchego or Idiazábal cheese.
Special features
Lo Món is a contemporary document: it epitomises the Priorat style that brought the region out of obscurity in the 1990s. Organic cultivation, slate terroir and artisanal vinification result in a wine with identity and ageing potential - an authentic representative of its origins.
