Llicorella Roureda Anyada Classic Priorat

DOQ Priorat, The Heaven

Today the Qualified Designation of Origin Priorat is one of the world’s most prestigious wine-producing regions. It is unique. It is sublime. It is pure magic. DOQ Priorat is located in the centre of Catalonia, in an unpopulated and inhospitable area.

The vines grow in poor, rocky soils. They are planted on mountain slopes, in terraces at an altitude of between 100 and 700 meters above sea level. Most of the land in Priorat is composed of silica slate, known by the locals as “llicorella”, and it is the llicorella that gives Priorat wines their unique character. Average production per vine is often less than 1 kg, and this confers excellent properties upon the grapes, which become pure gold in the hands of a good winemaker.

TASTING NOTES

Deep cherry red colour with purple reflections, with aromas of black fruits, vanilla and toasted almond. The mouth is round and potent, concentrated with hints of marmalade and cocoa. Persistent aftertaste, elegant and balanced with fine nuances from the ageing process.
