Lo Món 2020

Wine Description for Lo Món 2020 by Trossos del Priorat

Character

The Lo Món embodies the powerful elegance of Priorat in its modern interpretation. This Cuvée of Grenache, Carignan and Cabernet Sauvignon combines Catalan tradition with international flair – a wine of concentrated fruit and mineral depth that expresses the characteristic intensity of this legendary region with 14.5% alcohol in an expressive yet unforced manner.

Terroir & Origin

The Priorat, nestled in the steep slopes southwest of Barcelona, ranks among Spain’s most prestigious wine regions. The famous Llicorella slate soils – black slate interspersed with quartzite – have shaped wines of extraordinary minerality and concentration here for centuries. The extreme continental climate with hot days and cool nights, combined with low yields on barren soils, produces grapes of remarkable intensity. Trossos del Priorat works with old parcels whose vines are deeply rooted in the slate.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Grenache forms the aromatic backbone with its juicy fruit and spicy notes, Carignan contributes structure, acidity and earthy complexity, whilst Cabernet Sauvignon lends the blend tannin structure and international appeal. This combination is typical of modern Priorat wines that unite local tradition with global wine language. The 2020 vintage benefited from a balanced growing cycle. Ageing presumably took place in French oak, which gives the wine structure without masking its mineral authenticity.

Food Pairing Recommendations

A wine for the discerning table: braised lamb shoulder with rosemary, beef stew or game harmonise beautifully with its power and tannin structure. Equally suited are grilled Iberian pork, ratatouille or mature Manchego. The wine’s Mediterranean spice demands aromatic, robust dishes from Catalan or Provençal cuisine.
