Such an easy drinking wine, sourced from Priorat in Catalonia and Spain. It’s bright, red and instantly vibrant. There’s almost a lustre in the colour that threads through to the deliciously spicy red fruit characters. The fruitiness of the palate is balanced with a dry acidity and a slightly chalky tannin influence. It’s a mix of Grenache, Carignan, and Syrah and was matured in a combination of concrete tanks, large oak vats, and some used French oak. So the oak is subordinated, and it promotes the delightful, vibrant fruit characters of this blend.
