D.O.Q. Priorat

+7

Essence of the wine

+7 symbolizes the seven solar exposures of the estate, which play a crucial role in the grape's development. It also reflects the unique process H8of harvesting Garnacha grapes over seven different days, taking advantage of the optimal conditions of each day to achieve the best quality in every cluster.

Variety

Garnacha, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon

Terroir

The terroir of Priorat is unique, characterized by its poor, stony soil with a strong presence of licorella, which gives the wines exceptional minerality. This environment, combined with the warm and dry climate, produces intense, structured wines with a depth that reflects the identity of the region.

Winemaking Process

The harvest is carried out separately for each variety and by hand, following strict ripeness control. After fermenting in stainless steel tanks for 18 days, the wine is blended (coupage) in aging barrels, where it rests for one year, and is then refined in the bottle.

Appearance
