The 2014 Vinyes Velles, which means "old vines" in the Catalan language, is a blend of 70% Cari?ena and 30% Garnacha from vines planted on slopes ("costers") and terraces, mostly facing northeast. It fermented in stainless steel and oak vats and aged in French oak barriques for 15 months. It is harmonious, ripe without excess, nuanced and balanced, with power and elegance and nicely integrated oak. It's textured and shows intense flavors, with good depth and a backbone of fresh acidity that lifts it up. It was bottled unfiltered and unfined in April 2016. 25,000 bottles produced.

The tender texture masks serious density and a deep core of black cherry, red plum and mountain herb flavors. Well-integrated tannins and fresh but discreet acidity give this tensile strength. Focused, energetic and alluring. Drink now through 2024. 315 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Priorat Select to Add
