Product Description
Details
Produced by the talented winemaker Sílvia Puig through bodega En Números Vermells, her personal project, the wine En Números Vermells Clàssic is a confidential, small-batch Spanish red wine from DOQ Priorat.
It is made from two strands of Grenache, namely Grenache and Hairy Grenache, some of which come from vines over 100 years old. This red wine from Priorat also has some old-vines Carignan and also Syrah in the blend, sourced from 15-year-old vines. The vineyards are located in Torroja del Priorat and Bellmunt del Priorat.
Hand-harvested and selected meticulously, the grapes were fermented in new and 2nd year French oak barrels and clay amphorae, after which they were macerated for 25 to 32 days.
Then the red wine En Números Vermells Clàssic 2021 was aged for 13 months in the barrels. It was bottled unfined and unfiltered.
A deep and nuanced Priorat, this Crianza red wine will greatly benefit from a prolonged aeration. Decant a minimum of 1 hour before serving.
Less than 2,000 bottles produced. Grab one while you can!
Additional Information
Additional Information
| Appearance | The red wine En Números Vermells Clàssic is deep purple with a violet rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Though it has an unmistakable Priorat character, this blend of Grenache, Hairy Grenache, Carignan and Syrah is more about nuance than power. Forest berries and sour cherries wrapped in liquorice, tar and smoke, with hints of black pepper and a vibrant mineral undercurrent. |
| Palate | Still in the developing stage, this wine of bodega En Números Vermells has a phenomenal acidity, excellent definition and some dusty tannins. Lively mid palate, with a brooding minerality, a gentle layer of spices, succulent black fruit and metallic tinge coming from the llicorella soils. Impressively long finish. |
| Our personal opinion | An under-the-radar Priorat, the wine En Números Vermells Clàssic 2021 will make a great gift for the discerning wine lover. |

Excellent wine
Layered and rich, with tremendous minerality and a complexity which becomes ever more aparent as the wine breathes.
