Cims de Porrera wines are still made in the village co-operative of Porrera, and this team has produced yet another excellent wine with the balance and harmony of a wine made with great care, wines that truly reflect the characteristics of the Priorat region. It exhibits more depth, aromatic intensity, freshness, and concentration than the Solanes that it replaces.

Production:

Produced from a blend of Carignan and Grenache grapes sourced from the youngest vines. Aged for 16 months, 80% in cement and foudres and the other 20% in French oak. Followed by another 3 years in bottle.

Elaborated as “Vi de Vila" from Porrera, the new legislation introduced in 2009 by the DOQ Priorat recognises and protects each region's different characteristics -viniculture, climate, soil, etc.- with the purpose of highlighting their particular characteristics. 

Tasting Notes:

Beautifully intense aromas of red berry fruit, liquorice, mineral notes, and a distinct spiciness. Display a pleasantly sweet, jammy, black-fruited palate. Medium-bodied palate with good concentration, velvety texture, lovely rounded tannin, good acidity, and freshness. Finishing long and dry.

Notes: This wine will drink well during the next 8-10 years.
