Product Description
Details
Produced by the Celler de l’Encastell winery in DOQ Priorat, the wine Roquers de Porrera is made from a blend of old-vines Grenache and Carignan.
The grapes come from the Mas d'en Caçador vineyard, located in Porrera and planted with vines 75 to 100 years old. Both have the typical llicorella (slate) soils which characterize the region.
Harvested by hand, the grapes were carefully selected and destemmed on arriving at the celler. Then this red wine from Priorat was macerated for 21 days with the skins and subsequently fermented in stainless steel tanks.
After that, the wine Roquers de Porrera 2019 completed malolactic fermentation and was aged for 12-18 months in new French oak barrels from Allier.
This intense Crianza red wine should be decanted at least 30 minutes before drinking, to enjoy it at its fullest.
Additional Information
Additional Information
| Appearance | The red wine Roquers de Porrera is deep purple with a garnet rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Deep and complex, this blend of Grenache and Carignan balances the aromas of raspberries, damson and cherries with notes of clove, raw cocoa, chinese ink and cinnamon, together with some smokey and toasted nuances and deep mineral suggestions. |
| Palate | An example of bridled power, this Priorat red wine from Celler de l’Encastell has a rock-solid acidity and some lively tannins. Layered, fresh and smooth, it has a very long finish with remembraces of ripe fruit and spices. Again, a deep minerality wraps it all up. |
| Our personal opinion | The admirers of the classic Priorat style will enjoy the wine Roquers de Porrera 2019 immensely. |
