This new label from Juan Gil family exhibit their comitment to Priorat and their will to achieve an ambitious wine. They have already been very succesful just next door, with their Mas de Can Blau in DO Montsant. AsIt is just a matter of time, before they totally nail it
The hand-picked grapes, collected in 16kg baskets, were fermented separately in small stainless steel open vats of 15 & 30 Hl with 1-2 daily pump-overs, and one part in 500L French oak barrels with 2 daily punch-downs. Each varietal was aged separately in French oak barrels with 600, 300 & 225L of capacity for 12 months and finally blended.
The wine has notes of licorice and fennel, typical from this area, giving it a very Mediterranean profile, and shows concentration, ripeness, balance and acidity. The polished finish is long and lingering with elegant tannins.
