As the name suggests, Atavus is a well-regarded Priorat-based winery (and one that is very well set up for tourism at its headquarters in Gratallops). But much of its regenerative, organic, biodynamic and natural-leaning production is DO Montsant, including this blend of 65% Garnacha Blanca from 30-year-old vines in Falset with 35% Macabeo from a 70-year-old plot in Masroig, the latter fermented with the skins. Fermented with native yeasts and aged in stainless steel and in amphora for seven months. The BK! refers to the Catalan (bo karma) for ‘good karma’. David Williams: Marzipan and apricot amphora notes; a rounded and creamy palate with some weight and chew. A nicely refined, well-mannered style with so much character, including a burgeoning fruit flourish on the long finish. Matthew Forster MW: Intense caramel, burnt butter and hazelnut aromas. Packed full of ripe guava and tropical fruit, with a deeply fresh. Very complete. Luis Gamiz: Complex nose, honey, oxidative notes, passion fruit, dried apricot. Phenolic texture, moderate tannin and acidity. Warming, with a savoury, slightly grippy finish.
