tasting notes
|
Purple red in colour, with an aroma of ripe, red fruits (redcurrants, blackcurrants and myrtle berries) and vanilla notes. Due to its short time in the cask, it is warm, meaty, powerful and persistent in the mouth. Its after-taste brings out its special spicy character that only the wines produced in these unspoiled regions can offer.

|
terroir
|
The structure of the land which rises up forming gentle slopes (“costers”) from 200 to 700 m in altitude is unlike the Priorat region, not due to its geography but rather to its geology. These soils are formed from the breaking up of the primary granite of the base. Here the climate is colder and drier
|
|
harvesting
|
When the grape is slightly overripe.
|
|
production
|
The oldest vines grown are selected, after being grown in the traditional manner, and harvested, fermented separately in contact with their own skin, and stirred every day for 25 days.
|
|
aging
|
Following the malolactic fermentation process, the wine is stored in American oak casks for a short time. After a short filtering process, it is bottled and aged for at least three months in the cellar.
|
|
paring
|
Recommended as an accompaniment to red and white meats, poultry, game, roast lamb, pulses, stews, and cured and blue cheese.
|
|
serving
|
It is advisable to serve the wine at a temperature of between 14 and 16º C., after first uncorking and/or decanting it one hour before serving. Due to the natural elaboration techniques used, there may be light sedimentation.
Drink within three years in order to better appreciate the character, elegance and mineral elements that this region gives its wines.
