Beautiful dark cherry red with great depth of colour. Powerful on the nose, revealing rich fruit notes reminiscent of red cherry jam and exquisite undertones of ripe fruit (dried grapes, dates) with a touch of spices (black pepper). Flavourful, supple, and light on the palate, but with lush elegance. Well structured with a backbone of delicate, finely grained tannins. Seductive and modern in personality, seeking elegance over robustness.

Cataluña, or Catalonia, is a vibrant and diverse wine region in northeastern Spain, renowned for its wide range of wine styles and microclimates. This region encompasses several Denominaciones de Origen (DOs), including the famous DO Penedès, known for its innovative white and red wines, and DO Priorat, highly acclaimed for its powerful and intense red wines. Catalonia is also the heartland of Cava, the Spanish sparkling wine, primarily produced in the Penedès area.

Catalonia's geography is varied, featuring coastal areas, extensive valleys, and rugged mountains, which contribute to the distinct terroirs found within its boundaries. The Mediterranean climate generally offers warm, dry summers and mild winters, ideal for viticulture, with variations in temperature and rainfall influenced by altitude and proximity to the sea.

The region produces a multitude of wine varieties, with an emphasis on both indigenous and international grape types. Traditional red varieties include Garnacha (Grenache) and Cariñena (Carignan), particularly prominent in Priorat and Montsant, where old vines contribute depth and complexity to the wines. For whites, varieties such as Xarel-lo, Macabeo, and Parellada are prominent, especially in the production of Cava.

Catalonia's wine production is characterized by a blend of tradition and innovation, with many producers experimenting with new techniques and sustainable practices while respecting their heritage. This dynamic approach, combined with the rich cultural history of the region, makes Catalonian wines truly unique and highly sought after in the global wine market.

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.
