Parés Baltà Gratavinum Priorat 2022 (Spain)

Description

Oak, Raspberry, Smoke

“What’s spellbinding about this wine is the acidity and the freshness. Yes, it’s Priorat and it’s a big wine, but so nimble and full of tension. Packed with redcurrant and raspberry, hints of cacao and woodsmoke. Impressively fruit focused” Simon J. Woolf, Wine Journalist, The Morning Claret

Aromatic intensity and complexity with explicit presence of preserved red fruit well balanced with the touch of toasty notes from the oak. On the palate the entry is soft, but it changes showing unpolished ripe tannins together with good volume and acidity. Fruity notes with a mineral character at the end of the mouth. Long and fresh aftertaste.

The Gratavinum passion project was born in 2003, when a young Jordi Fernandez befriended Marta Casas and Maria Elena Jimenez and later, their husbands, brothers Josep and Joan Cusiné of the Parés Baltà winery. The group of friends bonded over environmental concerns, and wine travel and on an impulse, decided to make wine together in the highly regarded wine region of Priorat.
