Lo Tros Priorat 2016
Rich as a Priorat should be, but juicy and supple enough to be a regular glass beside a weekday supper!
Composition: 55% Carinyena, 45% Garnatxa
Tasting Notes
Cherry red in colour, the wine opens up with scents of blackberries and morello cherries with hints of Mediterranean forest herbs (bayleaf, thyme) and a touch of violets. The palate is full and rich, mouth-filling with extremely smooth tannins with a background texture of chocolate, but enough acidity to keep it juicy.
Alcohol: 14%
Wine Type: Dry Red Wine
Vintage: 2016
Vintage Notes
This vintage was one of stop and start. A very dry winter was followed by a wet spring, after which summer was once again very dry. A generally temperate spring and summer saw two marked heat waves, one in June and then another at the beginning of September. However the key period of late September and early October was cool and allowed for a long, well-balanced ripening, though production was some 40% lower than an average harvest.

Lo Tros Priorat Description
Vinergia Spanish Wines
Our Aim
Good Wine For Everyone, Everyday
Uniting the efforts of small and medium-sized Spanish wineries and distributors across the world.
Founded in 2005, we set out to take Spanish wines to the world and bring the world back to Spanish wineries.
Wine. Wine is for drinking and enjoying, it is not an academic subject.
People. For all we talk about climate and terroir, without people the grapes would never become wine.
Stories. Few things are so entwined with the world as wine.
Culture. The rich and varied context around wine adds joy.
