Product Description
Details
This is the new vintage of Cims de Porrera Vi de Vila, produced by the Cims de Porrera winery. The company is currently owned by the prestigious Pérez Family from Priorat
Their members include the patriarch José Luis Pérez, founder of Mas Martinet, his daughter Sara Pérez, co-owner of Venus La Universal, and, finally, Marc & Adrià Pérez, cousins and makers of this wine, which some years ago substituted the legendary Solanes.
Terroir-orientated and meticulously crafted, this Spanish red wine is made from a traditional blend of Grenache and Carignan (locally known as Caranyana) coming from young vines.
According to the regulations of DOQ Priorat, the name of this wine - "Porrera Vi de Vila" means "Village wine from Porrera" - guarantees that the grapes come solely from the village specified in the label.
Meticulously crafted, this red wine from Priorat was fermented and macerated at a controlled temperature, after which it was aged for 12 months in French oak barrels.
Finally, Cims de Porrera Vi de Vila 2018 was aged for 3-4 years in the bottle before its release onto the market.
Decant this Crianza red wine 1 hour before drinking.

Succulent ripe fruit over a mineral background, notes of dry herbs, hints of spices and a subtle touch of oak. Ripe tannins, rounded by the ageing process, and a fresh acidity give way to a long, spicy finish with some fruity overtones. Lively and full of character. |

Porrera
I bought this wine because I particularly enjoy wines that have spent some years in the bottle and are released at a mature stage. I was not disappointed. The heart and soul of Priorat.
