Product Description
Details

Produced by Mas den Gil, the red wine Coma Vella is named after a vineyard planted with two types of Grenache: the well-known Red Grenache and the rare Hairy Grenache. Those two varieties account for the main part (70%) of this Spanish red wine

The rest is divided among the Carignan (25%) and Syrah (5%) varieties. All of them were planted in the typical Priorat llicorella (slate) soils between 1965 and 1998.

The grapes were picked by hand, and each variety was separately vinified. Maceration and alcoholic fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks and concrete diposits.

After that, the wine was transferred into 225, 1,500 and 3,000-litre oak barrels, where it was aged for 12 months.

The red wine Coma Vella 2019 was bottled in May 2021 and stored for 24+ months in the cellar before its commercial release.

It is advisable to decant this Reserva red wine at the very least 30 minutes before drinking.

Pair this Priorat red wine with casseroles, oily fish dishes and hearty meat recipes.

Additional Information
Appearance

The red wine Coma Vella is medium purple with a clean ruby rim.

Nose

This blend of Grenache, Hairy Grenache, Carignan and Syrah is as appealing as its composition suggests. Subtle aromas of cranberries and blackberries, with subdued notes of graphite and wet stones, a fleck of violets and rose petals, and some dim herbal, tobacco and spicy remembrances.

Palate

Well-rounded and in command of itself, this wine of Mas d'en Gil shows the sort of calm confidence which is rarely encountered today. Everything is in the right place. Tannins are ripe, acidity is firm, and texture is nuanced and moreish. Long finish, with an aftertaste of ripe red fruit and herbs, and a mineral/metallic note.

Our personal opinion

While remaining faithful to the rugged Priorat terroir, the red wine Coma Vella 2019 is distinctively elegant and nuanced.
