This is a 100% Garnatxa wine produced using certified organic and biodynamic farming methods. It comes from the youngest vines in the Coster "La Coma D'en Romeu" vineyard in Porrera. The vines were planted in 2020 on 1.37 hectares at an altitude of between 370 and 400 metres above sea level. A limited-production artisanal wine from hand-selected grapes, a total of 2600 bottles have been produced for the 2023 vintage.
Flor de Coma is the first wine from the new project "Proyecto Flor" by the Familia Nin-Ortíz. The project is focused on rescuing the winery's oldest vines. Once these vines have reached their maximum production point, they will be replaced by new bush vines, "viñedo Flor". These vines will maintain the same DNA as the originals, thus preserving the genetic legacy of the original vines. This demonstrates that the youngest vines planted in exceptional soils produce high-quality wines with their own identity, distinctive character and depth.
Production:
Manual selection of the best grapes on the sorting table. Spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts. Sulphites are not used during the vinification process. It is only added during the ageing and at the time of bottling, in very low doses. The ageing takes place in 600-litre old barrels for 17 months.
Tasting Notes:
This is an intense cherry-coloured red wine. Fresh, with the character and strength typical of Priorat; fragrant and intense on the nose. Displays red fruit, wild berries and cherry-like fruit, accompanied by subtle floral touches and notes of aromatic forest herbs, with a mineral background.
Smooth, refined and deep on the palate. Round and flavourful, with silky tannins. Long finish with fruity and mineral notes.
A wine with ageing potential.
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) 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.
