Description

2806 – EMBRUIX OF VALL LLACH 2020 D.O.Q. PRIORAT

 Characteristics: It is made with grapes from vines that mostly do not reach the age of 30 and planted on the Winerys’s properties. They are vineyards of Samsó, Garnatxa, Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah, from estates spread over a very extensive geography, at various altitudes and topographies, and in which the insolation comes from the whole Rosa dels Vents. With these variables and the presence of licorice, Vall Llach’s Winery obtains a must of great structure and complexity that allows the production of Embruix.
