Finca El Romero is neighbouring the DOQ Priorat and is our challenge to project the essence of the Cariñena grape which I personally believe is the most exciting autochthonous variety. For this we have selected low yielding vines of approximately 50 years old.
Origin
DO Montsant Vineyard selection from the villages of Masroig, Guiamets, Darmós and Garcia. Mainly clay- Limestone soils.
Grape Varieties
100% Carignan
Technical data
Alcohol content: 14,5%
Acidity: 5,6
Vinification
Harvested at the end of September the grapes were cold soaked for 24 hours and fermented at 26ºC. Total time on skin lasted 14 days to optimise the extraction of fruit and tannins.
Ageing
The malolactic took place in tanks followed in November by 6 months ageing in barrels of 2nd and 3rd wine of 300l capacity.
Tasting notes
Finca El Romero is a pure Cariñena, arguably my favourite grape variety it exhibits gorgeous inner perfume and depth in its roses, dark cherries, plums, new leather, herbs and french oak. The silky tannins frame the ripe sensual fruit all the way through the long refined finish.
