Àrid Vins

This bold and expressive red from Priorat, Spain is a blend of Grenache and Carignan. 

Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: Dark fruit, sour cherry, and fig, layered with cocoa and a hint of spice.
  
• Palate: Rich and structured, with bold tannins and earthy complexity.
  
• Finish: Long and lingering, with a balance of fruit, minerality, and spice.

Production Highlights:

• Soil: Steep slate llicorella slopes, which enhance concentration and minerality.
  
• Climate: Mediterranean influences bring warmth and freshness, shaping the wine’s depth.
  
• Harvest: Hand-harvested from low-yielding vines to ensure quality and intensity.
  
• Vinification: Fermented in stainless steel to preserve fruit purity, followed by malolactic fermentation for added depth.
  
• Aging: Aged in oak barrels, refining the structure and adding layers of spice and chocolate notes.

Food Pairing: Perfect with rustic meat dishes and aged nutty cheeses, or as a decadent pairing with a rich chocolate dessert.
