Product notes
2 πr, the perimeter of a circle. In the elaboration of this wine we have brought the unique character of Priorat terroir together with the softness, balance and fruitiness of our grapes. An ideal wine for wine-lovers to be enjoyed with the traditional Mediterranean cuisine. An organic red wine made in Priorat.
Production notes
Pre-cold maceration for 7 days. Alcoholic fermentation for 16 days at a controlled temperature of 25ºC in stainless steel tanks. 60% was aged in new, second and third year French and Hungarian oak Barrels (400L) for 12 months; 20% spent 10 months in clay amphoras, and the remaining 20% was aged in 54L DemiJohns for 12 months.
Tasting notes
Aromatic intensity and complexity with a prominent presence of preserved red fruit. Well balanced with a touch of toasty notes from the oak. At first this wine is light on the palate but it quickly transforms to show unpolished ripen tannins with ample volume and acidity. Fruity notes with a mineral character linger on the fresh finish.
