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.

The Selecció Especial stands out for its elegance and class, great finesse and harmony, qualities that contribute to the wine's distinctive personality. Made with impeccable care, it exhibits amazing depth and complexity.

The grapes are sourced from very old Carignan vines in the best priorats vineyards. These vineyards have an exceptional slate soil, locally known as “licorella”, and are located in Costers, steep slopes terraces, at high elevations 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.

The wine has been aged for 18 months in new fined-grained, medium-toasted French oak barrels.Bottled unfined and unfiltered, then rested in bottle for at least 11 months.

Tasting Notes: 

Plenty of ripe black fruit, with touches of flowers and violets, a distinct spiciness, and scents of chocolate, vanilla, and licorice. Warm, with a remarkable creamy and velvety texture.

Note: A minimum of two hours decanting is recommended. A wine with years ahead of it, will gain even more complexity with time in bottle.
