Product Description
Details

The wine Cor de Pedra Garnatxa Negra i Carinyena is produced by bodega Fills de la Llicorella, a promising project started in 2016 by three young winemakers from Porrera, DOQ Priorat.

An equal blend of Grenache and Carignan, this Spanish red wine was sourced from vines around 20 years of age harvested by hand. The grapes were first fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks for 15 to 20 days under controlled temperature.

Then the red wine Cor de Pedra Garnatxa Negra i Carinyena 2022 was gently pressed, went through a sponatenous malolactic fermentation and was subsequently aged for 12 months in semi-new French oak barrels. It was bottled unfined and unfiltered, with a small amount of sulfites.

Very hard to find outside Catalonia, this red wine from Priorat is a seductive proposition from a boutique winery.

Aerate this Crianza red wine some time before drinking.

Appearance

The red wine Cor de Pedra Garnatxa Negra i Carinyena is medium purple with some reddish reflections.

Nose

Notes of charcoal and metal around a berryish core of exquisitely ripe fruit, with hints of garrigue and pencil lead. This blend of Grenache and Carignan just screams – or perhaps we’d better say whispers – Priorat.

Palate

This wine of the Fills de la Llicorella winery is inviting and fresh, with slim tannins, loose texture and surprising agility. Finish is long and complex, with a refined minerality entwined with spices and flowers.

Our personal opinion

The wine Cor de Pedra Garnatxa Negra i Carinyena 2022 conveys a seldom explored vision of Priorat. True to its rugged origin, but graceful and nimble nonetheless.
