A single estate wine made from very old Grenache vines. The 2015 was the first vintage for this new addition to the Family Nin-Ortiz Project, very limited amount released as just 1200 bottles were produced on this vintage.
Production: From organic and biodynamic farming. Hand harvested. Full clusters fermented with natural yeasts and aged in two 600 litre barrels for 17 months.
Nit de Nin "Coma d’en Romeu” is a crafted, small volume 100% Grenache wine which already in its first vintage has positioned itself on the same level as the highly-recognised Nit De Nin “Mas d’en Caçador”, a wine that aims to rank alongside the world’s finest.
It comes from the latest acquired estate which bears the same name: “La Coma d’en Romeu”, which they have already biodynamically farmed for the last 5 years, and the previous owner had it registered and farmed ecologically for 10 years. An extraordinary estate with a total of 11 ha, of which 1.5 ha are planted with vines, 70 year old Grenache growing on south facing costers (steep sloped hillside). The soils are llicorella based, the characteristic slate of the Prirorat. It is situated near the village of Porrera at an altitude of between 350 and 400 meters.
Tasting Notes: Known for its finesse and elegance, it has good aromatic complexity, with black fruit and Mediterranean herbs. Palate is round and smooth, with a velvety and firm texture, great weight, and exceptional length.
Notes: It would improve greatly with 2 hours ahead decanting or letting the wine breathe in the glass in order to achieve its maximum flavours. This is a very flavoursome wine that will continue to develop over the next 2–3 years. With good ageing potential, it can be enjoyed for a long time.
Nit de Nin is the personal project of Ester Nin, the winegrower from Clos Erasmus, being 2004 her first vintage. The wine is organically farmed using biodynamic principles, with a great emphasis on the respect of nature and the expression of the priorat terroir. Respect for the environment manifest itself throughout the winemaking process, from the grape harvest down to the bottling. The grapes are hand harvested and hand sorted.
