Syrah DOQ Priorat

Syrah from our estate "Mas del Roquer," located in Gratallops, in the heart of Priorat. These vineyards grow on the slopes of a valley bordering the Siurana River. The Syrah grows in two different plots, planted in 1998. Each has a different type of soil: one clay and the other slate or "llicorella," where the harvest takes place later.

Bright, intense dark fuchsia color with great tear intensity. Aromas of black fruits such as figs and blackcurrant, with hints of eucalyptus and bay leaf. On the palate, it shows good structure and concentration; sweet, round, and fresh tannins. Very expressive, with intense aroma and flavor, the wine evolves in the glass with changing aromas. Tasty black fruits like blackcurrant and plum jam, with a licorice finish. A very elegant and flavorful wine with a silky, persistent, and long-lasting finish. Its balanced acidity allows this Syrah to be enjoyed for years under optimal conditions.

Fermentation of whole clusters in open vats with a capacity of 1000 L. The fermentation begins with a spontaneous preferment that respects the native yeasts of the region. The grapes are foot-trodden and a daily bâtonnage is performed. Gentle final vertical pressing. The fermentation finishes in an amphora. The wine is racked and naturally transferred to amphoras for aging for ten months. It is poured unfiltered.
