Destí is a 100% estate-grown red wine from Merum Prioriti winery in Porrera. The grapes are sourced exclusively from the three estates owned by the Bodega, making a total of 29 ha planted with vines. Their vineyards are planted on a slate terrain on the hillsides of Porrera village, a terrain that is locally known as "llicorella".
Destí is 100% Porrera wine, a blend with the Grenache as a greater protagonist. It is a wine that expresses the essence of the distinctive terroir where it comes from and enjoys the prestige of being classified as “Vi de Vila” and certified as "Viticultura Heróica" by CERVIM, the Centre for Research, Environmental Sustainability, and Advancement of Mountain Viticulture, the international organisation in charge of promoting and protecting heroic viticulture.

Harvested by hand, grapes are destemmed and then gently pressed using a pneumatic horizontal press. Fermented in steel vats at a controlled temperature, it matures for 12 to 14 months in third-use French oak barrels. Blended before bottling. Bottled unfiltered and unfined.
Tasting Notes:
Clean, intense cherry red color. Fresh and elegant, red fruit, cherry, raspberries, redcurrant, floral touch of violets, mineral undertones, with a herbal and mineral tone. Elegant and silky on the palate with good complexity, sweet round tannins, and a long, smooth finish.
