The barrel-aged Gran Cruor PrioratQ from the wine-growing region of Catalonia reveals itself in the glass in dense purple. At the edges also shows a color transition to garnet red. Swiveling the wine glass, this red wine reveals a high viscosity, which shows in church windows at the edge of the glass. The first nose of Gran Cruor PrioratQ shows of morello cherries, plums and blueberries. The fruity parts of the bouquet are joined by notes of barrel aging like even more fruity-balsamic nuances.

On the palate, Casa Gran del Siurana's Gran Cruor PrioratQ opens wonderfully aromatic, fruit-driven and balanced. Some wines are dry, others bone dry. This red wine belongs to the latter, as it was bottled with only 0.5 grams of residual sugar. On the tongue, this punchy red wine is characterized by an incredibly fleshy and dense texture. Due to the balanced fruit acidity, the Gran Cruor PrioratQ flatters with a soft mouthfeel, without lacking juicy liveliness. In the finish, this storable red wine from the wine-growing region of Catalonia finally inspires with exceptional length. There are again hints of mulberry and black cherry. In the aftertaste, mineral notes of the slate-dominated soils are added.
