Product Description
Details
Produced by Celler Vall Llach, a household name in Priorat, the wine Vall Llach Porrera Vi de Vila is an impressive Spanish red wine made from of old-vines Carignan (50%) and Grenache (50%).
The grapes are sourced from several vineyards, some of which are over 100 years old, situated in the vicinity of Porrera. The wine bears the Vi de Vila (Village Wine) seal to attest that fact.

Hand-picked and meticulosly selected, each variety was separately vinified. First, they were destemmed before being fermented for 20 days in 300 and 500-litre oak barrels, with gentle pump-overs and punch-downs performed daily. After that, this red wine from Priorat completed the malo in stainless steel tanks.

Then the wine was transferred into stainless steel tanks, where it completed malolactic fermentation. After that, the Carignan went into 2nd year 17 and 20 hl French oak vats, and the Grenache went into 10 hl Austrian oak vats. Both were aged for a period of 12 months, during which period they were racked once.

Finally, the wine Vall Llach Porrera Vi de Vila 2022 was blended and bottled in November 2023.

It is essential to decant this Crianza red wine before drinking.

Appearance

The red wine Vall Llach Porrera Vi de Vila is deep purple with some ruby and indigo reflections.

Nose

Despite its youth, this is already an impressive blend of Carignan and Grenache. Lively black currant and black cherries, with a speck of tar, leather, violets and spices, underscored by a deep mineral background.

Palate

This wine from Celler Vall Llach is not as massive as in previous vintages, and it certainly benefits from the restraint exercised by the winemaker. Textured and complex, with amazing natural concentration, a tangy acidity sustaining many layers of flavour and a vibrant mineral feel which just goes on forever.

Our personal opinion

Despite it needs some years to fully come together, the wine Vall Llach Porrera Vi de Vila 2022 already shows outstanding qualities.
