Terroir X de Llicorella La Viña Vieja represents the culmination of the progressive introduction to the winery's philosophy and the unique character of Porrera wines.
La Viña Vieja is a black Caringnan base wine with a touch of black Grenache and other white and black varieties from very old vines. The grapes are coming from the winery's two vineyards, La Rápita and El Fonellas. Vineyards on terraces and steep slopes on Licorella soil, small sheets of slate that give a marked mineral character to the wines.
The vines have a vegetative development without too many interventions. The grapes are harvested by hand. Fermentation in stainless steel with spontaneous yeast. Aged in new and second-year barrels for 14 months.
Limited production of 480 bottles.
Tasting notes:
A wine of great complexity and elegance, it reflects the typicality of the old Carinyena grapes of the region. It has an expressive, fruity, and spicy nose with a marked mineral background, conveying a sensation of powerfulness and maturity. Notes of Mediterranean herbs, thyme, and blackberry fruit stand out. In the mouth, it shows marked and elegant tannin and good acidity. A very balanced wine with great persistence and a lot of personality.
Notes: It is recommended to let it breathe in the glass for a short time to achieve its maximum potential. Good ageing potential.
The Winery
Salustia Alvarez is the man behind the project of Bodega Alvarez Duran, a small family winery in Porrera, a village in the heart of the Priorat Region, the emblematic wine-making area in Catalunya. They produce small quantities of high-quality, singular wines from fruit sourced from very old vineyards inherited by their ancestors; two vineyards totaling 7 ha, located on the outskirts of the village, with vines growing on steep slopes and terraces on soil composed of the locally known as llicorella, sheets of slate stones; "El Fonellas", a tiny vineyard and home to the oldest vines, mostly Carignan, planted as far back as 1896, vines holding on very steep licorella slopes with a drop of 44% and west-oriented; and "La Rápita" vineyard, where the vines are much younger, having been in 1996 and growing on slopes with gradients ranging between 21% and 52%.
