This terroir-driven Spanish red wine is made from a traditional blend of Grenache and Carignan (locally known as Caranyana) coming from young vines.

According to the regulations of DOQ Priorat, the name of this wine - "Porrera Vi de Vila" means "Village wine from Porrera" - guarantees that the grapes come solely from the village specified in the label.

Meticulously crafted, this red wine from Priorat was fermented and macerated at a controlled temperature, after which it was aged for 12 months in French oak barrels.

Finally, the wine Cims de Porrera Vi de Vila 2019 was aged for 3-4 years in the bottle before its release onto the market.

Appearance

The red wine Cims de Porrera Vi de Vila is deep ruby with purple tinges and a garnet rim.

Nose

Iintense and deep, with mulberries, bramble and cranberries, nuanced by black pepper, clove, liquorice and some delicate mineral and balsamic hints. This blend of Grenache and Carignan also suggests subdued aromas of vanilla and toast, with hints of aromatic herbs.

Palate

This wine from Cims de Porrera gives all that we would expect from red Priorat. Succulent ripe fruit over a mineral background, notes of dry herbs, hints of spices and a subtle touch of oak. Ripe tannins, rounded by the ageing process, and a fresh acidity give way to a long, spicy finish with some fruity overtones. Lively and full of character.

Our personal opinion

The wine Cims de Porrera Vi de Vila 2019 faithfully conveys the local character of one the world's great wine regions.

I bought this wine because I particularly enjoy wines that have spent some years in the bottle and are released at a mature stage. I was not disappointed. The heart and soul of Priorat.
