2815 – RED WINE CLAR DEL BOSC – D.O.Q. PRIORAT

Characteristics: Clar del bosc, this magical bald spot where light breaks through the gloom. Little else to add to the imagination, except that its exquisite palate contains the spiritual essences of the Priory. Dressed with a white velvet label, like the coats of the Carthusians who started viticulture in this unique place.

Vinification: The Priorat area has a unique terroir known as Llicorella consisting of reddish and black slate with small particles of mica and quartzite. This soil structure promotes drainage and forces the vine’s roots to grow deep into the ground to obtain water. Cultivated on terraces among pine and olive groves, the vines grow with very low production, the grapes are harvested by hand, fermented separately in small open stainless steel barrels and a part in 500L French oak barrels. The different wines are aged separately in French oak barrels of 600, 300 and 225L capacity for 12 months and are finally mixed before bottling.Aging: Aging in French oak barrels for 12 months.
