Planetes is the first "Vi de la Vila" from Porrera to come out on the market in the 2008 vintage. The new legislation, introduced in 2009 by the DOQ Priorat, recognises and protects each region's different characteristics, such as vinicultural, climatic, soil, etc., with the purpose of highlighting their particular characteristics.

Production:

Sourced from still quite young Grenache vines from a small parcel planted on llicorella and farmed biodynamically.

The grapes have been hand-sorted. Fermentation takes place only with natural yeast.

Aged for 14 months in two 3000-litre French oak foudres and amphorae.

Contains low quantities of sulphites. 14660 Bottles

Tasting Notes:

Nicely perfumed and elegant, with fresh fruit, black cherry, and subtle mineral notes on the nose. Elegant and long; soft, silky and pleasant on the palate. Good acidity and freshness with nicely rounded, soft, velvety tannins. A wine that speaks clearly of its origins.

Notes:

It is recommended to keep for at least a year for optimal consumption, and it will drink well over the next decade. It would improve greatly with 2 hours of decanting or letting the wine breathe in the glass in order to achieve its maximum flavours.

Nit de Nin is the personal project of Ester Nin, with 2004 being her first released vintage. Today, the winery is a strong reference in the region as a producer of high-quality wines. Since 2019, the Nin-Ortíz family has been elaborating their wines in the new winery at the "Les Planetes de Porrera" estate, and they work 18 hectares of their own vineyards.

Their wines have been produced under artisan and organic agriculture since 1999, and since 2002, they have been certified by the CCPAE, the Catalan Council for Organic Agricultural Production. In addition, they have also applied biodynamic farming philosophies since 2006 and are part of the distinguished "Renaissance des Appellations", an international group of renowned biodynamic wineries.

All their wines come from their own vineyards; costers (natural slopes) are worked with mules. The grapes are harvested early in order to preserve the freshness of the berries. No industrial yeasts are added, and only a small amount of sulphur is added just to prevent oxidation and to ensure long ageing.
