Red Spanish WineWine of Spain. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.60% Cariñena & 40% Garnatxa from family-owned, 18Ha ‘Els Palells Estate' organic vineyards. Near the small town of Bellmunt del Priorat in the south of the DOQ, and at an altitude of more than 1,000m, the estate vineyards are planted on the classic, steep Licorella (slate) slopes (Costers) with pockets of alluvial clay over granite. With vines aged up to 80 years old and yields naturally limited to 2,500kg/ha the grapes were harvested by hand in 18kg boxes in the middle of September 2016 and transferred to 10,000Ltr stainless steel vats for fermentation. The Garnacha and Cariñena grapes were fermented separately for approximately 18 days and, after a malolactic fermentation using indigenous bacteria, the wines were then aged separately in 300Ltr French oak barrels for 12 months. The 2016 vintage was characterised by a dry winter, followed by a relatively wet spring (where we received most of the regions annual rainfall) and a dry summer, without the typical extremes of temperature which are common in Priorat. This meant that the vines were in excellent health so 2016 is a year of minimal intervention, excellent quality, maturity and balance between alcohol, acidity and aromatic concentrations. The total production of 50,000 x 75cl was blended in May and bottled at the end July 2018 Wm Judit Llop
