When we got the “coster” (steeply sloping traditional Priorat vineyard) back into production, we thought we had bought a plot of Carinyena (Carignan)… and to our great surprise, we found it had 40% of Garnatxa Peluda (Downy Grenache)…!!! This ripens before the Carinyena (Carignan) and expresses more freshness. It is the last piece of the jigsaw we needed to transmit the balance of Bellvisos.
A vertiginous wine with long maceration which needs oak and time in bottle in order to be reborn, fine, beguiling, fresh and powerful… anchored to the Llicorella (slate-based soil) which has shaped it.
