Vinification

Manually harvested and selected both at the vineyard and at the sorting table. Fermented in stainless steel deposits at low temperature, the wine has aged for 12 months in used French Allier Oak Barrels. Bottled without filtration.

Production of 1086 bottles.

Tasting Notes: 

A priorat wine with the freshness and tipicity of its youth. Outstanding freshness, lovely round red fruit, spice, and minerality with rich flavours and structure.

THE WINERY

Ca L’Apotecari de Porrera, the project of Santi Puig, pays honors to his antecessor, his great-uncle Jaume, the last “Apotecari” of Porrera. It starts when Santi takes over the two plots of land belonging to his great-uncle: "Los Perers" and "Les Eres" at the beginning of the century.

"Los Perers" is located at 500 meters of altitude and has a very steep configuration that had to be terraced to make work possible and to effectively retain water. The soil is the characteristic slate, known locally as licorella. A relatively low-yielding new planting of each of the four varieties—Garnatxa, Carinyena, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot— was added in 2000. Meanwhile "Les Eres" is destined for white Carignan, as it is not yet ready for quality production.

Santi felt ready to launch his first wines after spending more than a decade    working and experimenting at the Celler. Always bearing in mind to produce extremely limited numbers of very high-quality wine, so he pays close attention to agricultural techniques, cultivating the vineyards in accordance with ecological standards even if they are not certified.
