Tasting Note
Round, balanced and ripe, yet fresh. Red berry fruit and mineral notes with a generous mouthfeel that stays bright.
Drink it with: roast lamb or other roast meats.
The Winemaking
Spontaneous fermentation in vat at no more than 26°C, with hand pump-overs and a 30-day maceration. Fourteen months in used French barrels for most of the wine.
The Vineyards
Organically farmed terraces in Gratallops, with vines up to 50 years old.
The Producer
Marc Ripoll took back his family's Gratallops vineyards, which had been selling grapes to the co-op, and restored the old winery. Cal Batllet is now one of Priorat's leading estates, making wines about place rather than power.
