Cellers Unió "Llicorella Gran Selecciò Vitis 60" Priorat 2016

Varietal: 65% Grenache | 35% Carignan that has been aged in oak for 15-18 months.

Grown from low-yield 60 year old vines that produce exquisite grapes bursting with rich fruit and complex flavors. The soil is composed of silica slate, known by the locals as "llicorella", and also gives this wine its unique character. The stony and volcanic soil retail little water, driving a marked mineral quality.

-

Tasting Notes: A dark cherry red wine, with violet reflections and an aroma of ripe black fruits. Has a series of mineral notes and a powerful, full-bodied taste of ripe, unctuous tannins. A long, elegant after-taste, well balanced and with good aging notes.
