Vinification of Terroir Al Limit Terroir Historic Negre Priorat

The basis for the well-balanced Terroir Historic Negre Priorat from Spain are grapes from the Cariñena and Garnacha varieties. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Catalonia. Here, the vines sink their roots deep into slate soils. The ripeness of the grapes for this wine from Cariñena and Garnacha is influenced to a significant extent 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. The wine grapes for this red wine from Spain are harvested exclusively by hand when they are perfectly ripe. After harvesting, the grapes are immediately brought to the winery, where they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in large wooden vats at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the wine is aged for several months on the fine lees before it is finally bottled.
