Elaboration: The different varieties, which come from selected vineyards with low production, are fermented separately at a temperature between 26 ºC to 28 ºC carefully controlled. Maceration is long (24 days approx.), followed by the malolactic fermentation. Afterwards, the varieties are mixed and the resulting wine is placed in French and American oak barrels during the next 12 months. During this time, the temperature is controlled at 16 ºC. Once this process is completed, the ‘coupage’ and the bottling are carried out.
General characteristics: Dry red wine, complex, with the ripe grape bouquet typical of the Priorat Grenache and Carignan varieties.
Recommendations: Drink at temperatures between 16 ºC and 18 ºC, up to 20-25 years after elaboration.
Grape varieties: 50% Grenache, 40% Carignan and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon
Type of soil: “Llicorella” (slate from the Carboniferous Period).

Alcohol content: Between 14% and 15% by vol.
