Lo Món 2019 1500ml Magnum

Wine Description for Lo Món 2019 1500ml Magnum by Trossos del Priorat

Colour & Appearance

Dense, luminous cherry red with shimmering reflections and distinctly violet elements – a wine that, despite all its maturity, has not yet completely shed its youth.

Nose

The nose is complex, dark and characterised by mystical calm. Blackberry, elderberry and sour cherry come across as deep and settled, far removed from youthful primary fruit. Earthy notes of beetroot and forest floor combine with ethereal hints of pine needles, juniper and eucalyptus. Liquorice and rosemary lend the bouquet a precise spiciness, whilst a subtle touch of coconut delicately suggests the fully integrated oak influence. Delicate, balsamic and of impressive inner depth.

Palate

On the palate, the wine unfolds dark and full-bodied, with immediately present structure. The lining tannin glides elegantly through the mouth, settling smoothly on tongue and gums, bringing fine bitter notes that give the wine profile and length. The dark fruit remains ever present, yet is consistently contrasted by spicy, balsamic and ethereal components. Despite its intensity and depth, the wine comes across as remarkably refined and invigorating – a Priorat that reconciles power with elegance.

Finish

In the aftertaste, freshness noticeably comes to the fore, accompanied by ethereal nuances that allow the wine to finish lively and drinking-friendly. Long, structured and with fine astringent precision.

Terroir & Origin

The Priorat ranks among Spain’s great red wine regions – characterised by barren Llicorella slate soils, extreme hillside slopes and Mediterranean climate with cool nights. This harsh, archaic landscape shapes wines of unmistakable minerality and depth. The vintage 2019 is considered exceptionally well-balanced, with good acidity structure and ripe, yet never overloaded fruit.

Grape Variety & Vinification

The cuvée from Grenache, Carignan and Cabernet Sauvignon combines the best of Priorat: the silky depth of Garnacha, the structure-giving power of Cariñena and the classic tannin structure of Cabernet. At 14.5 % vol., the wine displays the sun-ripened maturity of the region without losing balance. The magnum bottle guarantees slower, more harmonious ageing – ideal for the cellar.

Food Pairing Suggestions

An ideal companion to braised lamb loin with Provençal herbs, wild boar ragout or aged Manchego cheese. Also a natural choice with chargrilled entrecôte or Catalan botifarra with white beans.

Special Features

The 1.5-litre magnum bottle is not merely a statement on the table, but promises, through its more favourable oxygen ratio, particularly long-lived and harmonious development in the cellar. A wine for great moments – and patient wine lovers.
