In Ferrer Bobet there is a great respect for the expression of the terroir; their aim is to make top-quality Priorat wines that will reflect, with elegance, freshness, and harmony, the mineral essence and complexity of the region.

Ferrer Bobet Vinyes Velles is made from old vines of Carignan and Black Grenache planted on Costers and steep slopes terraces, with exceptional slate soil, locally known as “licorella”, around the village of Porrera.

Production:

The grapes were hand picked and hand-selected, grain by grain, on a double sorting table, so only the best were picked. Fermentation takes place in 15 and 30-hl stainless steel and oak vats.

The wine was aged for 15 months in new fined-grained, medium and lightly-toasted French oak barrels and followed by another 11 months in bottle before its release. Bottled unfiltered and unfined.     

Note: It is recommended to decant before serving. It will gain even more complexity with time in bottle. Drinking nicely now or during the next decade.
