Availability: In stock
The wine Cesca Vicent 4 Elements is the top-range bottle of bodega Cesca Vicent, a family winery from Gratallops, one of DOQ Priorat’s historic villages.
Made solely from Carignan, this Spanish red wine is sourced from a single estate, Mas del Corral, planted with certified organic vines on the characteristic steep slopes of Priorat.
The grapes were hand-picked, meticulously sorted before being fermented in stainless steel tanks. Then this red wine from Priorat went through a quite interesting ageing process. First, this Crianza red wine was transferred into 3 different containers: oak barrels, clay amphorae and glass demijohns.
After maturing for some months, the three batches of the red wine Cesca Vicent 4 Elements 2023 were racked to the stainless steel stanks for assemblage. The final blend is hence the result of maturing the wine in 4 different vessels.
Only 867 bottles produced!
We suggest aerating this organic red wine 1 hour before drinking.
| Appearance | The red wine Cesca Vicent 4 Elements is deep purple with some reddish reflections. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Deep and quite full-flavoured, this varietal Carignan suggests some rich cassis-scented aromas with a lively undercurrent of petrichor and metal, nuanced by hints of bitter cocoa, wild thyme and sweet spices. |
| Palate | Mature and bold, with a warm mineral core and a steely acidity that helps balance the high alcohol content of this wine by bodega Cesca Vicent. There is a balsamic freshness to the ripe black forest fruit, with some dusty tannins and a very long finish with an earthy and mineral note. |
| Our personal opinion | Not for the faint-hearted, the wine Cesca Vicent 4 Elements 2023 shows an unmistakable local character. |
