Tasting note
- Colour & Appearance
- A vibrant purple with impressive depth of colour.
- Nose
- Dense, deep dark and featuring immense intensity. Multi-layered fruit nuances of blackcurrant, redcurrants, elderberries and juicy blackberry unfold. Beneath lies a fascinating spiciness: green walnuts, black olives, a hint of leather, juniper and acacia wood, rounded off by accents of cocoa butter, dark chocolate, almond blossom as well as roasted almonds and Mediterranean herbs.
- Palate
- On the palate, the majestic structure of Priorat reveals itself in a timeless, elegant guise. The concentrated, dark fruit feels enclosed as if in a silky envelope. Despite its density, the wine feels by no means heavy: the cool mouthfeel and fine minerality form a brilliant counterpoint to the ripe fruit of the hot Mediterranean climate.
- Terroir & Origin
- Grown in the heart of the region around Gratallops. The vines root deeply in the barren Llicorella slate, which stores heat and provides the profound minerality. The marked temperature differences between hot days and cool nights preserve the essential freshness in the grapes.
- Grape Variety & Vinification
- Cuvée of the classic Priorat varieties Grenache (Garnatxa) and Carignan (Samsó/Cariñena), complemented by Cabernet Sauvignon. The organically farmed vines stem from the oldest parcels. Ageing takes place 100% in new French oak barriques.
- Food Pairings
- Pairs exquisitely with charcoal-grilled roast beef with green beans, Papas Arrugadas and chimichurri, an oriental lamb casserole with tabbouleh salad, or surprising combinations such as pan-roasted red prawns on black rice with olive tapenade.
- Particularities
- A wine possessing the timeless elegance of a “little black dress”: it unites the power of the slate terroir with a Burgundian-esque finesse and cool freshness.
