Memòries Sweet Rancio 2019, 375ml, 16% - Costers del Priorat
Winemaking
Memòries blends sweet and rancio wines. The sweet part comes from sun-exposed Garnacha Blanca grapes. Once the grapes are dehydrated as desired, they are gently pressed. The must is fermented naturally and fermentation comes to a stop on its own. The resulting sweet wine is blended with rancio (20%) from a 1927 solera in a barrel of the latter wine.
Tasting notes
Powerful, classical aromas. Honey notes. Saline, smoky, ancient nuances. The magic of time, the nerve of sweet fruits, the sunshine and the cool nooks and crannies of a big house in the country. A smooth, gentle start that becomes deep and very long. Candied notes, almonds, ripe dry figs, coffee and chocolate. Length, charm and warmth. A wine that inspires calm, meditation and emotion.
Food harmonies
Memòries is the ideal wine to pair with pastries, specially those with chocolate and nuts. It is also a great accompaniment for traditional sweets: pastissets, carquinyolis, doughnuts, nougat, cakes… The best time to enjoy it is after a long, leisurely meal but it’s also a top choice as an aperitif —its power combined with the sweet flavours create a pleasant contrast with delicacies such as salted meat or fish and fried almonds with coarse salt..
