Has a deep cherry red colour with garnet reflections, intricate aromas of ripe red fruits, candied fruit and leather. Its taste is strong, full-bodied, powerful and well-balanced, with well-integrated fine wood tannins that give it a long, persistent taste that confirms its characteristics and the noble varieties used in its production, and also the area in which they are grown.
The structure of the land which rises up forming gentle slopes (“costers”) from 200 to 700 m in altitude is unlike the Priorat region, not due to its geography but rather to its geology. These soils are formed from the breaking up of the primary granite of the base. Here, the climate is colder and drier.
Depends on the state of the grape and the prevailing climate.
After traditional cultivation practices, the oldest vines are selected and fermented separately, in contact with their own skin, and stirred every day for 22 days.
After malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged in French and American oak casks for the necessary length of time. Then, after gently clarifying with egg white to attenuate the wood tannins, it acquires its particular “bouquet” after being aged in the bottle.
Recommended as an accompaniment to red meats, game, poultry, lamb or beef stews, casseroles, mushrooms and cured cheese.
It is advisable to serve the wine at a temperature of between 16 and 18º C., after first uncorking and/or decanting it one hour before serving. Due to the natural elaboration techniques used, there may be light sedimentation.
Drink within five years in order to better appreciate the character, elegance and mineral elements that this region gives its wines.
