This blend has always been the flagship of the estate... and an excellent price quality relation.
In 1996, for its first vintage, the production was only a few barrels. Meanwhile, the vines (15 hectares) have grown older et also the know-how.
Thanks to stricter selection of the grapes, the quality of wine has reached new levels.
Vinification
After 25 to 30 days of maceration at 27 to 29°C, and the alcoholic fermentation, the wine is aged for 18 months in Nevers oak barrels (half new).

Trial analysis
Deep colour. Exuberant Syrah aromas like ripe gooseberries, pepper and a hint of minerality.
At first, very juicy on the palate, then spicier and more structured. The wood is very well integrated. A typical Priorat-Wine.
