La Carinyena
Torroja del Priorat
THE VINEYARD
Vineyards cultivated on steep slopes, on slate and clay soils, in the municipality of Torroja del Priorat. The climate is semi-arid Mediterranean continental, where the austere conditions lead the vines to express to the extreme the characteristics of the resulting wine.
LA CARINYENΔ 2020
A single-varietal wine made from Carinyena Negra (Carignan). Hand-selected harvest. Fermentation with whole berries, without stems. Gentle daily punch-downs during the first few days to aid extraction, combined with a long post-fermentation maceration for polysaccharide extraction. Aging for 12 months in 300-liter French oak barrels.
TASTING NOTES
Intense purple color with dark garnet rim. Very ripe nose, with figs and ripe plum layered over a backdrop of black fruit, intense and balsamic tannins with spicy notes. Mineral undertones.
Fine entry on the palate, broad and intense, with excellent acidity. Long finish with a lingering taste of ripe fruit. The expression of the grape taken to the extreme.
A wine that truly represents its terroir.
Recommended serving temperature: 15ºC.
