It is now over 10 years since in 2002 Laurent Combier, Jean Michel Gerin and Peter Fischer three renowned French winemakers, best known as “el Trio Infernal”, landed in the Priorat region and started their own project. What it started as an enological adventure sourcing their fruits from rented vineyards and elaborating in a small cellar in the village of Torroja del Priorat has turned into a strong consolidated project, including their own newly built winery and 8 Ha. of their own vineyards on the sloped hillsides in the beautifully village of Torroja del Priorat right in the heart of the acclaimed wine region known as the Priorat. Applying their experience and with the terroir as a main role player, they have now created a new line of wines, "L'infernal", which is another great success from this Team. Each wine is sourced from their own plots truly reflecting the terroir expression of each site as its best.  

Tasting Notes:  Full-bodied red with deep mature dark fruit aromas, spice and mineral scented nose. Elegant and concentrated, mineral and spicy notes, showing marked tannins and length.

Notes: Has good potential to evolve in the bottle, drinking beautifully now and it will last for some years.
