2020 Casa Gran Del Siurana Priorat "GR-174", Catalonia, Spain
Very deep red cherry color with a magenta rim.
At the beginning predominant aromas of Grenache Noir
with fruity notes of red fruit, blackberries and currants,
while mint, balsamic and spicy notes appear in the
background.
The mouth is pleasant, sweet with a velvety, fleshy
texture. Round and soft tannins that extend the wine
and make it enjoyable until the last drop.
ABOUT THIS WINE
This wine represents the quintessence of our estates. A combination of two properties, one (Casa Gran) providing freshness and red fruit, and the other (La Fredat) lending minerality, structure and black fruit characteristics.
It is produced from all the grape varieties we grow: Garnatxa, Cabernet Sauvignon, Samsó, Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
On the outskirts of Bellmunt del Priorat, on the banks of the River Siurana, stands the property popularly known as Casa Gran. This historic, three hundred year old building was previously home to the Carthusian monks of Scala Dei, the monastic order which introduced viticulture into the area in the 12th century.
The property surrounding the Casa Gran, which was witness to the monks’ strict vow of silence, now forms part of our vineyards.
The Casa Gran del Siurana project began in the year 2000 with the goal of producing the wines from scratch: selecting the land with most potential, choosing the most suitable vine stocks and cultivating them carefully until the optimum moment for harvesting, then deciding on the best means of vinification and ageing.
