Details
Els Escurçons 2024
Organic
The vineyard after which Els Escurçons takes its name is situated on the outskirts of Gratallops, at 600 metres of altitude, in the heart of DOQ Priorat.
A varietal Grenache, this Spanish red wine is produced from vines planted in slate soils and surrounded by holm oaks amidst a pristine environment of Mediterranean garrigue and aromatic plants. In order to maximize the interaction and stimulate the competition between the vineyard and the environment, the land is left unplowed.
Produced by Mas Martinet Viticultors, headed by world-class winemaker Sara Pérez, the grapes were meticulously selected and fermented in clay amphorae.
After a long maceration, the red wine Els Escurçons 2024 was aged for 12 months in the amphorae and in demijohns (large glass jugs).
Finally, this single vineyard red wine was aged for some months before being released onto the market.
Decant this organic red wine from Priorat a minimum of 1 hour before drinking.
Very limited availability.
| Appearance | The red wine Els Escurçons is medium purple with a garnet rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Lively aromas of cranberries and bilberries, with a background of aromatic herbs-rosemary, tarragon and thyme-and a touch of lavender and wild flowers. This varietal old vine Grenache wine also insinuates some hints of cocoa, menthol and spices, together with a profound mineral pulse and an intriguing smokey note. |
| Palate | This wine by bodega Mas Martinet Viticultors is luminous, crisp and energetic, with a great acidity, excellent definition and an uncompromisingly terroir-oriented character. Very long finish, with remembrances of garrigue, flowers and some earthy and mineral intimations. |
| Our personal opinion | A wine with aura, the wine Els Escurçons 2024 proves that to have universal appeal, a wine must first become unashamedly local. |
