Cork

In Priorat’s Poboleda district, Jordi Masdeu and Alessandro Marchesan (a DWWA judge) grow grapes in two different areas making up the 7ha Mas la Mola estate. This is a blend of 85% Garnacha and 15% Garnacha Peluda from 35- to 70-year-old vines on a number of parcels at altitudes ranging from 350m-800m and on llicorella slate soils. The wine aged for 15 months in French oak barrels prior to bottling. Sarah Jane Evans MW: All the intensity of Garnacha but with a savoury edge and a refreshing acidity. Pomegranate and just-ripe hedgerow brambles. Refined. Christine Allen: Redcurrant, watermelon and pomegranate juice with a warming spice edge. The palate is precise, showing minerality and lovely fresh fruit. Beth Willard: Watermelon and cherry hard-boiled sweet. Mineral and flinty on the palate. Perfectly integrated oak with a touch of graphite. A long, red berry finish.
