Details

The red wine D’Iatra is one the entry-level bottlings of bodega Cal Batllet from Gratallops, DOQ Priorat, a family winery run by Marc Ripoll Sans.

The main variety is Carignan, complemented with some Grenache and a lesser amount of Cabernet Sauvignon, all sourced from family-owned vineyards around 50 years of age.

This blended red wine from Priorat was traditionally vinified in stainless steel tanks, with mild extractions, gentle pump-overs and a 30-day maceration. After that, the red wine D’Iatra 2018 was aged for 14 days in fine grain French oak barrels.

This blended Spanish red wine was stored in the cellar for some time before hitting the market.

7,594 bottles produced.

Nose

This blend of Carignan, Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon is ripe, fruit-driven and balanced, with a well-defined Priorat character showcasing crème de cassis, wild berries, chinese ink, black pepper and slate, with some sweet spices and a minty note.

Palate

Rich and full-bodied, with impressive freshness and a prominent acidity effortlessly carrying its weight. This wine of Cal Batllet winery shows a nice complexity, a seductive minerality, seamless tannins and a floral note, ending with a chocolate-y and spicy note.

The wine D’Iatra is a purebred Priorat – and an excellently priced one at that.
