Priorat

Full

Natural Cork

The label tells you that this is a ‘Vi d’altura’, a high-sited wine. Indeed the region can boast few higher, and this is pure old vine Garnatxa of 70 to 80 years old, grown at 900m up on Montsant itself, on clay-limestone soils rather than llicorella. It is aged in old barrels and big wood, though in the future it will be concrete. Many high-grown Grenache wines resemble ‘Pinots of the south’, notably in Spain’s Gredos region, and this is indeed light in colour with lifted, fragrant fruit aromas of strawberries and meadow flowers. On the palate, by contrast, it is still a Priorat, albeit in restrained and delicate guise. It has the brightness and the vivacity typical of Priorat, its sense of energy and thrust allied to a charming, lighter red fruit spectrum. There’s a saline edge too, which may or may not be related to the changed soil type.
