Priorat, Catalonia, Spain – 100% Garnatxa Negra
Layers of ripe cherry, blackberries, and plum on the nose, intertwined with sweet spices such as vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg from nine months of French oak aging. Earthy tones emerge, with hints of dried rosemary, thyme, crushed stone, and a touch of tobacco. Flavours of black cherry, blackcurrant, and raspberry compote followed by dark chocolate, cedar, and toast add depth, while a balanced acidity lifts the fruit, bringing freshness to a lingering finish with baking spices and a hint of balsamic. Pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, roasted pork, aged cheeses, or rich mushroom-based dishes.
