The more modern and different 2021 Camins del Priorat, a blend of 40% Garnacha, 21% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 15% Cariñena and 6% Syrah, is a little more balsamic with some herbal notes and some dusty tannins. It's powerful and has good balance. This fermented 100% destemmed in concrete and stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and matured in oak barrels and vats for six months.
The regional blend 2019 Camins del Priorat is a blend of 35% Garnacha, 24% Syrah, 17% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cariñena, 10% Merlot and 3% other varieties. The grapes were destemmed, lightly crushed, and then fermented with the natural yeasts in a combination of stainless steel, oak and concrete vats. After fermentation, it matured in barrel and oak vats for four months. This wine showcases the power and concentration of 2019, an extraordinarily warm and dry year, but the wine has great finesse. There are more balsamic aromas from the Bordeaux varieties, which incredibly didn't dehydrate that year: the leaves took a long time to turn yellow. There are notes of liquorice and something balsamic. This is juicy and chewy, powerful, pungent, and intense, with muscle but with great balance and very clean. This is the most modern and international of their wines, with a showy profile. A triumph over the conditions of the vintage.
The regional red blend 2018 Camins del Priorat was produced with grapes from 101 plots from eight villages in Priorat and wants to represent the overall character of the zone. It's a blend of 35% Garnacha, 20% Cariñena, 20% Syrah, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot that fermented in a combination of stainless steel and oak vats and matured in barrique and oak vats for four to six months. It's young and fruit-driven with some herbal hints from the French grapes, which were picked early, intermixed with liquorice and fennel. It's nicely textured, happy, and fresh, juicy, clean and with no noticeable oak. It has a modern and clean profile. The tannins are soft and round. It's like a more concentrated version of 2016 and 2014, both cool years. Easy to drink and very pleasant.

La Cataluña, o Catalogna, è una regione vinicola vivace e diversificata nel nord-est della Spagna, rinomata per la sua ampia gamma di stili di vino e microclimi. Questa regione comprende diverse Denominazioni di Origine (DO), tra cui la famosa DO Penedès, nota per i suoi innovativi vini bianchi e rossi, e la DO Priorat, molto apprezzata per i suoi vini rossi potenti e intensi. La Catalogna è anche il cuore del Cava, il vino spumante spagnolo, prodotto principalmente nella zona del Penedès.

La geografia della Catalogna è variegata, con zone costiere, ampie vallate e aspre montagne, che contribuiscono ai distinti terroir presenti all'interno dei suoi confini. Il clima mediterraneo offre generalmente estati calde e secche e inverni miti, ideali per la viticoltura, con variazioni di temperatura e precipitazioni influenzate dall'altitudine e dalla vicinanza al mare.

La regione produce una moltitudine di varietà di vino, con un'enfasi sia sui vitigni autoctoni che su quelli internazionali. Le varietà rosse tradizionali includono la Garnacha (Grenache) e la Cariñena (Carignan), particolarmente importanti nel Priorat e nel Montsant, dove le vecchie viti conferiscono profondità e complessità ai vini. Per quanto riguarda i bianchi, varietà come Xarel-lo, Macabeo e Parellada sono importanti, soprattutto nella produzione di Cava.

La produzione vinicola della Catalogna è caratterizzata da una miscela di tradizione e innovazione, con molti produttori che sperimentano nuove tecniche e pratiche sostenibili, pur rispettando il loro patrimonio. Questo approccio dinamico, unito alla ricca storia culturale della regione, rende i vini catalani davvero unici e molto ricercati nel mercato vinicolo mondiale.

Priorat is a wine region located in Catalonia, Spain. The region is known for producing high-quality red wines that are full-bodied and complex. The history of winemaking in Priorat dates back to the 12th century when monks from the Carthusian monastery of Scala Dei began cultivating grapes in the area. The region's unique terroir, which is characterized by steep slopes, slate soils, and a Mediterranean climate, contributes to the distinctive character of Priorat wines.

The production of Priorat wines is highly regulated, with strict rules governing grape varieties, yields, and winemaking techniques. The primary grape varieties used in Priorat wines are Garnacha and Cariñena, although other varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Merlot are also permitted. The wines are typically aged in oak barrels for extended periods, which adds complexity and depth to the final product.

Priorat wines are known for their intense aromas and flavors, which often include notes of black fruit, licorice, and spices. The wines are also characterized by their high tannin levels, which give them a firm structure and the ability to age for many years. Priorat wines are often compared to those from the nearby region of Rioja, although they are generally considered to be more full-bodied and complex.

Some of the top producers of Priorat wines include Alvaro Palacios, Clos Mogador, and Mas Martinet. These producers are known for their commitment to quality and their use of traditional winemaking techniques. Their wines are highly sought after by collectors and wine enthusiasts around the world.

In addition to red wines, Priorat is also known for producing a small amount of white wine. The white wines are made from Garnacha Blanca and Macabeo grapes and are typically light and refreshing with citrus and floral notes.

Overall, Priorat is a region that is steeped in history and tradition. Its unique terroir and strict winemaking regulations have helped to produce some of the world's most sought-after wines. Whether you are a seasoned wine collector or a casual enthusiast, a bottle of Priorat wine is sure to impress.
