CATA's notes: - Color Picota cherry with violet reflections.
- Nose: fruity aromas, a certain freshness, mineral and creamy notes of the oak very melted in the wine.
- In mouth It is broad, tasty, very balanced, warm, tasty and sweet tannins, mineral aftertaste and finely toasted.
Production and Aging: Made with the varieties
Garnacha 72%, Cariñena 28% and 1% of other varieties , from nine municipalities of the
DO. Ca Priorat : Gratallops: La Vilella Baixa, Bellmunt, El Lloar, El Molar, Porrera, Scala Dei, Torroja and Poboleda. The age of the c
epas where the grapes come from are around 60 and 90 years old. Has remained
11 months in French oak barrels 20% new and the rest of 1, 2 and 3 years.
This wine is made with a simpler idea than its brothers
Finca Dofi and
L'Ermita , without losing the elegance and personality that characterizes the wines of
Alvaro Palacios.
It is an example of the new priories, something brave, very complex, very tasty, with that puzzle of sweet flavors and almost something past that the Cariñena and the Garnacha contribute, but at the same time raised by the acidity of the Cabernet, with a voice a little spirity that promises to soften with the passage of time in the bottle.
Curiosities: the winemaker
Alvaro Palacios is
a celebrity in Spanish viticulture . Among his most renowned creations, historical wines such as L'Ermita or Finca Dofí stand out, which have led the Priorat lands to be known throughout the world. He arrived in Gratallops in 1989 and fell in love with the mystical landscape of vine cultivation, mainly slate soils and cliffs, where the old Garnacha and Cariñena vines are found, which give his wines a strong character.
