Powerful Reds
Description:
Nowhere is Spain's vinous renaissance more apparent than in the tiny DOC of Priorat, close to Tarragona and Barcelona. High up in the hills around the town of Falset, lies one of the most geographically spectacular regions in Spain. Vertiginous vineyards that you actually need a ladder to climb, vines sticking out at right angles from 'soil' consisting of nothing but slate and shale and old, old vines contribute to very low yields and ultra concentrated wines. Priorat's explosion onto the world wine scene is a sure testament to the amazing naturally occurring growing conditions found there. This wine is a blend of Garnacha 70% and Carinena 30% from 15 year old vines and has spent 8 months in french oak barrels. A lively blend it is medium to full bodied with bright, spicy, juicy fruit character and succulent texture. It's immensely well balanced and is a great example of modern priorat wine. (12 x 75 cl)

Description: Nowhere is Spain's vinous renaissance more apparent than in the tiny DOC of Priorat, close to Tarragona and Barcelona. High up in the hills around the town of Falset, lies one of the most geographically spectacular regions in Spain. Vertiginous vineyards that you actually need a ladder to climb, vines sticking out at right angles from 'soil' consisting of nothing but slate and shale and old, old vines contribute to very low yields and ultra concentrated wines. Priorat's explosion onto the world wine scene is a sure testament to the amazing naturally occurring growing conditions found there. An absolute stunner that proves the world class of the Priorat region but also the credentials of Cartoixade Montsalvat. This wine is a blend of Carinena 65%, Garnacha 25%, Cabernet Sauvignon 5% and Merlot 5%. This is a concentrated wine redolent of prunes, ripe dark berries, grilled smoked meats and spice- but it's also extremely well balanced and never gets close to the stewed, porty style of other Priorat wines. The palate is very full but soft with a velvety texture and great length.. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £378.18
