tasting notes

This red wine is dark red in colour, with violet reflections. It has an aroma of black, ripe fruits with mineral notes. In the mouth, it has a powerful, meaty taste, with ripe, unctuous tannins. Has a long, elegant after-taste that is well balanced and with good aging notes

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.
