| Community Tasting Notes (average 90 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 3 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Jverhoef on 1/9/2021 & rated 92 points: Very good! Apertif while cooking; definitely tasted fruit, but a spice too. Great with spiced pork apple chutney and roasted vege medley (202 views) | | | Tasted by TannicBeast on 12/18/2019 & rated 88 points: Tasted blind. Med + to deep purple with a magenta rim. The nose is medium in intensity, with medicinal herbs and a floral component. The nose and palate have notes of red cherry and red currant but also some black currant. No evidence of oak. The palate is dry, with med + acidity, med tannins and high alcohol (15%). Overall med + body and med + flavor intensity but only med length. This is a good to very good wine, which is drinking well now and not likely to improve with further aging. 50% Grenache and 50% Mazuelo (Carignan). At $23, it's actually a pretty good QPR and value for a Priorat. (388 views) | | | Tasted by bitdrerik on 5/4/2019: Priorat wine fair 2019 (and related events); 5/2/2019-5/9/2019 (Tarragona and various places in Priorat): The same could be said about this red as the preceding rosé. This was in fact quite nice. By no means earth shattering but a decent effort. Which could not be said about the last wine we tasted at this stall, Nadiu la Simó. Very generic (isn't that a redundancy?). So generic that I will not bother creating the wine on Cellar Tracker. (1323 views) |

Wine Map on weinlagen-info
Spain is the third largest wine producing nation in the world, occupying the majority of the Iberian Peninsula with vast diversity in climate, culture, and of course, wine. From inky, dark reds of the [Priorat] to dry, white Finos from Andalusia, Spain can easily boast of elaborating a wide variety of notable styles. Within Spain there are currently 62 demarcated wine regions, of which a handful have gained international recognition: [Rioja], Priorat and [Ribera del Duero]. Yet these regions are only a small sample of the high quality wines Spain produces. Regions such as Cava, Penedes, Somontano, Galicia, Rueda and Jerez are only a few of the numerous regions worthy of exploration throughout Spain. Spain can also lay claim to having the most land under vine in the world, growing up to, by some accounts, 600 indigenous varietals of which Tempranillo is their most well known. Other popular varietals include [Garnacha], Bobal and Monastrell for reds and for whites; the infamous [sic] Palomino Fino grape which is used in the production of sherry wine, Pedro Ximenez in Montilla Morilles, Albarino used in the creation of the bright, effervescent wines of Galicia, and Verdejo in Rueda. - Source: - Catavino.net
Spain is not in the forefront of winemaking for its dessert wines, other than for its sweet wines from Sherry country including the highly revered Olorosos (when sweetened). But apart from Sherry Spain has a range of styles of dessert wines, ranging from the those made from the Pedro Ximenez grape primarily in Jerez and Montilla-Moriles) to luscious, red dessert wines made in the Mediterranean from the Garnacha (Grenache) grape. Some good Moscatels are made in Mallorca, Alicante and Navarre. The northwest corner of Spain, Galicia, with its bitter Atlantic climate, is even making dessert wines, called “Tostadillos” in the village of Ribadivia (similar to France’s “Vin de Paille”). The Canary Islands have made interesting dessert wines for centuries (they are mentioned by Shakespeare, for example) and in recent years the quality of winemaking has been improved and the Canary Islands wines are being better marketed now. The winemaking styles for “Vinos Dulces” are also diverse, from “Late Harvest” (Vendimia Tardía) to “Fortified Wines” (Fermentación Parcial). Based on in-spain.info.Catalunya Map on weinlagen-infoPrioratAbout 100 kilometers from Barcelona, Priorat originated as a distinct recognized wine region in 1932, and was approved in 1954.
