Tasting Notes:  A good modern Priorat, clean and elegant. Excellent concentration of rich dark fruits, minerals and  spices, fresh and warm, deliciously rich flavours. Unctuous tannins with a long and spicy persistent notes on the finish.


La Basseta is with no doubt the most feminine wine of their range. A very complex and fine wine marked  by the intensity of the fruit blended  and its minerality which gives it a long a silky finish. Ideal to consume now and through 2026
