Crushed & Cured
L'Expressió del Priorat, `L'Expressió del Priorat`, Priorat, Spain, 2022
A true expression of the Priorat region, powerful and seductive with blueberry fruit on the nose and the classic flinty mineral character of the wines from this region. Juicy and fruit-driven with tender tannins and plenty of acidity. Smooth and luscious on the palate with a grippy texture, hints of herbs and spices and a long fleshy berry and black cherry finish.
A cold pre-fermentation maceration was carried out for six days at 12ºC, with fermentation lasting for three weeks with a gradual rise in temperature (the maximum being 26ºC). Each vineyard plot was vinified separately, with malolactic fermentation occurring in stainless-steel vats. The wine was bottled without stabilisation and using a very fine filtration.
