The 2006 Roquers de Porrera is 80% Garnacha and Carinena from the estate’s older vines with the balance Merlot and Syrah. The wine was aged for 16 months in seasoned French oak. A deep garnet color, it reveals an intense nose of slate/mineral, underbrush, incense, blueberry, and black cherry. Velvety-textured, elegant, and intensely flavored, this represents the more feminine side of Priorat. It will evolve for several years and offer prime drinking from 2011 to 2021.
