2012 Clos Pissarra Priorat "El Ramon", Catalonia, Spain

The 2012 Clos Pissarra "El Ramon" is a robust and layered Priorat with deep aromas of blackberries, ripe plums, and dark cherries, interwoven with notes of leather, spice, and graphite. On the palate, it is full-bodied with concentrated flavors of blackcurrant, dried herbs, and hints of licorice. The wine's firm tannins and lively acidity provide structure, while its long, mineral-driven finish reflects the slate-rich soils of Priorat.

ABOUT THIS WINE

Sourced from low-yielding old vines grown on the steep, slate-covered hillsides of Priorat, "El Ramon" is a bold expression of this famed Catalonian region. A blend of primarily Grenache and Carignan, the 2012 vintage is aged in French oak barrels, allowing the wine to develop complexity and depth. Priorat’s unique terroir—defined by its "llicorella" (slate) soils—imparts a distinctive minerality to the wine, complementing its rich fruit character. This wine pairs beautifully with grilled meats, game dishes, and hearty stews.
