The first nose of Les Manyes Priorat presents nuances of sour cherries and raspberries. The fruity components of the bouquet are joined by notes from barrel ageing such as cedarwood, blueberry and mint/melissa.

This red wine from Terroir Al Limit is just right for wine drinkers who like it absolutely dry. Les Manyes Priorat comes very close to this, as it was vinified with just 0.5 grams of residual sugar. On the palate, the texture of this well-balanced red wine presents itself as wonderfully silky and powerful. Thanks to its distinctive fruit acidity, Les Manyes Priorat appears exceptionally fresh and lively on the palate. On the finish, this youthful red wine from the Catalonia region finally delights with extraordinary length. Once again, hints of raspberry and sour cherry appear. In the aftertaste, mineral notes from the clay-dominated soils join in.

Vinification of Terroir Al Limit Les Manyes Priorat

The basis for the balanced Les Manyes Priorat from Spain is grapes from the Garnacha variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Catalonia. Here, the vines sink their roots deep into clay soils. A significant influence on the ripeness of the harvest is also the fact that the Garnacha grapes thrive under the influence of a warm climate. This is expressed, among other things, in particularly well-ripened grapes and a rather high alcohol content in the wine. When perfect physiological ripeness is ensured, the grapes for Les Manyes Priorat are harvested exclusively by hand, without the use of rough, barely selective machines. After harvesting, the grapes are brought to the press house as quickly as possible. There they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in large wooden vats at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, the elegant Les Manyes Priorat is aged for a few more months in oak barrels.
