Les Tosses Priorat - Terroir Al Limit

When swirling the wine glass, you can perceive a perfect balance in this red wine, as it does not appear watery, syrupy, or liqueur-like on the sides of the glass. Poured into a red wine glass, this red wine from Spain offers wonderfully fragrant aromas of raspberry and sour cherry, rounded off by further fruity nuances contributed by barrel aging.

On the palate, Les Tosses Priorat from Terroir Al Limit opens pleasantly dry, firm, and aromatic. There is dry and then there is really dry. This red wine belongs to the latter, as it was bottled with only 0.7 g of residual sugar. On the palate, the texture of this well-balanced red wine presents itself as wonderfully silky and powerful. Thanks to the moderate acidity, Les Tosses Priorat caresses the palate with a pleasing mouthfeel without lacking freshness at the same time. The finish of this well ageworthy red wine from the Catalonia region, more precisely from Priorat DOQ, ultimately convinces with an exceptional length. The aftertaste is also accompanied by mineral facets from the slate-dominated soils.

Vinification of Terroir Al Limit Les Tosses Priorat

The basis for the balanced Les Tosses Priorat from Catalonia is grapes from the Cariñena grape variety. In Catalonia, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on slate soils. The ripening of the harvested grapes for this Cariñena wine is significantly influenced by the climate of the growing region. In Catalonia, the grapes thrive in a warm climate, which is reflected, among other things, in particularly well-ripened grapes and a relatively high must weight. Once perfect physiological ripeness is ensured, the grapes for Les Tosses Priorat are harvested exclusively by hand, without the use of rough and barely selective machines. After harvesting, the grapes are brought to the press house as quickly as possible. There, they are sorted and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in large wooden vats at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, the elegant Les Tosses Priorat is aged for several more months in oak barrels.
