Costers del Priorat - 'Pissarres' Tinto 2019
"A surprisingly rich and concentrated red from this Spain at this price point. It has the warmth and aromatics of a great Priorat which is divine. Smoky and dark red fruit flavours show depth on the nose and this blends in with the oaky and slightly black fruit spectrum of flavours that are dancing around the palate. Slightly more pronounced acidity but that is only a good thing as it will give a longer ageing ability!"
--------THE PRODUCER--------
Costers del Priorat
Costers del Priorat are one of the new-wave producers of the Priorat region which are helping to give this fantastic region in the northeast of Spain a new life and really bring modern techniques to these wines. Costers del Priorat are one of the few producers in this region whom are producing single vineyard wines all of which are fantastic!
--------THE GRAPE--------
Grenache/Garnacha
Grenache is the French name, and Garnacha the Spanish, of this great red grape varietal. There are often heated discussions as to which country has the historical right to it but politics aside it is a widely popular and successful grape in the hottest of regions. Perhaps it is best known for being the lead grape in the blend of the wines of Chateauneuf-du-Pape.
