Production: The small production consists of pure Carignan sourced from low-yielding over 60 year-old-vines from a single plot, planted on sloped high altitude hillsides made up of licorella soil and North facing, located in the municipal district of the village of Torroja, within the appellation of Priorat. The vinification starts mainly with the hand picking of the fruits, then the grapes are carefully hand sorted, eliminating any over-ripe or undesired grapes. Full clusters fermented in tank with natural yeasts. The wine ages in a combination of 500 liter French oak barriques and a 2500 liter oak “foudre” (oval cask) for about 24 months to be bottled under gravity without finning nor filtration. Production of 4664 bottles.
