    Product description

    The vineyard is located in the town of Gratallops, classified as Vi de Vila (a sub-zone of Priorat DOQ). Vines planted in 1910 yield very low yields. Grapes are hand-harvested. Fermented in Stockinger Austrian oak foudres of 2,500l with indigenous yeast and ripe stems (10%). Grenache ages in 870l Austrian oak foudres, and Carignan in 300l French oak barrels, new and second year, for 10 months. Limited production of 4,666 bottles Complex, refined notes of dark fruits, wild berries, cassis, pencil shavings, dark chocolate, wet stones, forest floor with a cedarwood undertone. Intense, powerful yet elegant, fresh and precise. Lingering finish with great potential to age further.

    Awards

    A pure, transparent Priorat that's ripe but fresh, nimble and bright, with berries and red cherries throughout. Medium-bodied, fresh and firm, with juicy berry fruit and a tight, expressive finish. Delicious now, but will hold well in the next few years.

    The village red from Gratallops 2023 Pedrabona was produced with a 50/50 blend of Garnacha and Cariñena from four old vineyards in different lieuxdits, Manyetes, Planassos, Vinyals and Aubada. The grapes were hand harvested and fermented with indigenous yeasts in troncoconic Stockinger foudres and some open-top barrels. The best Garnacha matured in an 870-liter foudre and the rest in French oak barrels for nine months. It has good ripeness and 14.3% alcohol while keeping very good freshness, reflected by a pH of 3.3. This has ripeness, structure and clout, perhaps a little more rusticity than its siblings (the Cariñena might contribute to that) with some earthiness and reminiscences of tree bark. It has abundant, slightly dusty tannins and a long and dry finish. 9,500 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2024.
