The wine region of Priorat
Mythical Catalan terroir, DOCa (Spain's summit alongside Rioja). Powerful, concentrated reds with signature notes of candied black fruits (blackberry, black cherry), graphite, schist, garrigue, cocoa and liquorice, firm tannins and a mineral palate strung by the "llicorella" (black schist and quartz forcing roots down to 20 m). Old vines of Garnacha (roundness) and Cariñena (Samsó, structure). Exceptional ageing.
The wine region of Catalogne
Cradle of Cava (~95% of Spanish output, traditional method): Macabeo, Xarel-lo, Parellada trilogy, fine fruity bubble. Quality peak in Priorat DOCa: dense, mineral reds on llicorella (schist), old-vine Garnacha and Cariñena with black fruit, garrigue notes, firm tannins. Also Penedès, fleshy Montsant, sunny Empordà, Costers del Segre. Mediterranean.
The word of the wine: Presses
The juice that results from pressing the grapes after fermentation. At the end of the maceration, the vats are emptied, the first juice obtained is called the free-run wine and the marc remaining at the bottom of the vat is then pressed to give the press wine. We say more quickly "the presses". Their quality varies according to the vintage and the maceration. A too vigorous extraction releases the tannins of pips and the wine of press can then prove to be very astringent. Often the winemaker raises it separately, deciding later whether or not to incorporate it totally or partially into the grand vin.
