Elegance, freshness and balance.
The expression of our Priorat.

Tasting note

Color: cherry. Fruity expression. Red fruits, floral and spices. A tasty, fruity mouth, drawn out and fruity.

Guía Peñín 2020 – October 2020

Vintage 2019

The year is to be remembered for the heatwave that lasted until the end of June, with temperatures of up to 43 °C that especially affected the Carignan. A hot summer, but with showers that cooled off the vines. Optimal conditions continued through the end of August resulting in grapes that were concentrated and well balanced. Great quality with slightly lower yields.

Tasting note

“A bright cherry colour and a medium to medium/high body. Aromatic intensity, dark and red fruits with brush strokes of vanilla and woods such as cedar. Intense taste, juicy dried fruit (underripe black plums) and a heavy acidity that lingers. Velvety feel, with tension, verticality and elegance, and also notes of balsamic vinegar, dried aromatic herbs and spices. Still young and lively. The wood is perceived more in the nose than the mouth, where it is well amalgamated.

Ramon Francàs – June 2020

Vintage 2017

A vintage marked by average and maximum temperatures above the values of the last ten years, along with a low level of rain. All the same, it is under these conditions that our vineyards and our grape showed us their incredible capacity, not only to survive, but also to give us a small quantity of the very highest quality. One of the earliest and shortest spring harvests that we can remember.

Tasting note

“Fruit of the vines planted between 80 and 115 years ago and from an excellent year. Medium-high body. Noble woods. There is a great balance in the mouth, with a velvety feel, although there is a point of tannin at the end. All of which is nicely enveloped by a balanced acidity. It is imposing, tasty, with wood throughout and verticality. More dark fruits than red ones, with a marked minerality (graphite) and aromatic herbs of the chaparral. It is a wine for the fireside, to enjoy the glass slowly over time.”
Ramon Francàs – June 2020

Vintage 2016

A record vintage. Small healthy grapes, fruit of the driest summer we have had to date after a rainy spring. The moderate average temperatures with small showers in September provided us with one of the calmest and longest vintages of the last few years. Excellent ripeness and acidity. A benchmark vintage, one of the best in the last few years.

Tasting note

“The 2016 has a powerful nose (which is not so far from those from Doix of that same year) with floral notes mixed with notes of damp graphite and slate, and a touch of bark and earth topped off with aromatic herbs that are reminiscent of the Priorat. Abundant tanin is found in the mouth, with a slight dustiness and the electric freshness of the year.”

The Wine Advocate – August 2019

Vintage 2016

An unforgettable vintage. Small and healthy grapes, fruit of the driest summer we have had to date after a rainy spring. The moderate average temperatures with showers in September provided us with one of the calmest and longest vintages in the last few years. Excellent ripeness and acidity. A vintage that will stand as a benchmark, one of the best in the last few years.

Tasting note

“Colour: bright cherry, with a garnet edge. Aroma: ripe fruit, dry herbs, creamy oak. Mouth: powerful, ripe fruit, spiced, long, mature tannins, sweet tannins.”

Guía Peñín – September 2020

Vintage 2017

A hot and dry year, marked by average and maximum temperatures above the values for the last ten years, along with a low level or rains. Nevertheless, it was under these conditions that our vineyards and vines showed our incredible capacity, not only to survive, but also to give us a small amount of extremely high quality. One of the earliest, short harvests that we can remember.

Tasting note

“Bright clear, straw colour. Aromatic intensity. It is marked by a meaty spring fruits with pits (peaches and nectarines) but above all with a note that remembers the fresh Floretine fennel. A Mediterranean wine without wood.”

Vintage 2020

Early year. The high temperatures caused the plants to begin their vegetative growth phase 2 to 3 weeks earlier than normal. This moving up of the cycle, combined with the intense spring rains and the high temperatures, generated the “perfect storm” for the development of mildew. A dry summer accelerated the ripening process, so that the harvest was begun a week before the usual time. The resulting grape was very high quality. One of the shortest harvested and the smallest yields in the last 10 years.

Tasting note

“A clear, shining straw colour. Middling aromatic intensity. A very fine floral touch. It is round and harmonious with glycerin, tasty, sensual and elegant. Good acidity and rather gastronomic. A great balance with the alcohol well integrated.”
