Wine Description for Somni 2016 3000ml Double Magnum by Portal del Priorat

Character
The Somni from Priorat embodies the powerful minerality and concentrated fruit for which this Catalan appellation is world-renowned. The Cuvée of Carignan and Syrah combines Mediterranean spice with the structured elegance that the Llicorella slate imparts to the wines. In the imposing double magnum format, this wine possesses the potential for extraordinary development.
Terroir & Origin
Priorat ranks among the most prestigious wine regions in Spain. The steep hillside vineyards with their characteristic black slate soils – the Llicorella – decisively shape the wines. The continental-Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and cool nights ensures physiological ripeness whilst maintaining freshness. Portal del Priorat works with old vines that root deeply in this austere terroir and produce concentrated, mineral wines.
Grape Variety & Vinification
Carignan – often called Samsó here – forms the backbone of many great Priorat wines. The old bush vines yield low crops with intense fruit and robust structure. Syrah complements the Cuvée with aromatic complexity and supple texture. The 2016 vintage is considered balanced and harmonious in Priorat, with good acidity structure. The vinification respects the characteristics of both varieties and creates a wine that combines power with finesse. The large format enables slower, more harmonious maturation.
Food Pairing Suggestions
This powerful red wine calls for equally substantial dishes: roasted lamb shoulder, braised beef cheeks or game with dark sauce are ideal companions. The Somni also harmonises beautifully with Catalan cuisine featuring butifarra or escalivada. Aged Manchego or intense hard cheeses underscore the wine’s mineral complexity.
