|
tasting notes
|
Dark cherry red in colour, with an intense aroma of ripe fruits, candied red fruits and mineral notes. Has a complex, concentrated taste with pleasant toasted notes that are reminiscent of pastries and honey, with a tannin-like flavour, and a powerful, unctuous after-taste.
|
|
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
|
Late, when the fruit is overripe.
|
|
production
|
The grapes are selected from arid soil with steep slopes and undergo a short fermentation process. Every effort is made to extract all the colour and tannin from its skin, and the process is halted by fortifying, in order to conserve its characteristic sweet taste.
|
|
aging
|
Aged in old oak casks.
|
|
paring
|
Ideal as an aperitif and for accompanying foie and fine pastries, dried fruits and nuts and blue cheese.
Also perfect for use in cooking.
|
|
serving
|
Service slightly chilled, at between 10 and 12º C. There may be slight sedimentation due to the natural techniques used in producing this wine.
