The remote, rocky hillsides just south of Barcelona is where the celebrated Priorat wine region is located. With wine production here dating back to Roman times, the wines are concentrated and full of character thanks to the very low yields produced by the region’s extraordinarily harsh conditions. Opening with aromas of slate, crushed roses, cocoa, dried herbs, gravel and dried currants. This wine is fresh and fruity, luscious, yet light on its feet. Upfront it’s silky on the palate with black cherry, blood orange, sweet tobacco, star anise and cacao.
