Llicorella Classic is gripping. It calls you. We couldn’t have done it anywhere else but in Priorat, blending grapes from our low-production vines in the villages of poboleda and gratallops. Taste it, you’ll feel in heaven.

 

Tiny and entirely composed of craggy, jagged and deeply terraced vineyards, Priorat is a Catalan wine-producing region that was virtually abandoned until the early 1990s. Its renaissance came with the arrival of one man, René Barbier, who recognized the region’s forgotten potential. He banded with five friends to create five “Clos” in the village of Gratallops. Their aim was to revive some of Priorat’s ancient Carignan vines, as well as plant new—mainly French—varieties. These winemakers were technically skilled, well-trained and locally inspired; not surprisingly their results were a far cry from the few rustic and overly fermented wines already produced.

Deep cherry red color with purple reflections, with aromas of black fruits, vanilla and toasted almond. The mouth is round and potent, concentrated with hints of marmalade and cocoa. Persistent aftertaste, elegant and balanced with fine nuances from the ageing process.Due to its characteristics this wine hasn’t been filtered.
