Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, high tannin, high acidity, dry
Priorat's reds grow on llicorella — the region's fractured black slate — where old, low-yielding Grenache and Carignan bushes push roots deep for water and produce wines of remarkable concentration. Dark cherry and blackberry over liquorice, dried herbs and a distinctly stony, mineral core, with real power and firm tannin. Full-bodied and high in alcohol yet held upright by acidity and that slate-driven tension rather than tasting merely heavy.
