About the Wine
The Priorat region of Spain is celebrated for its rugged terrain and unique slate soils, known as Llicorella, which impart remarkable depth and minerality to its wines.
Characterized by steep, sun-drenched slopes and terraced vineyards, Priorat’s challenging landscape forces vine roots to delve deep into the earth in search of water, resulting in grapes with exceptional concentration and complexity. This demanding environment, coupled with the region's historical winemaking heritage, makes Priorat one of Spain’s most esteemed and sought-after wine regions.
J. M Fuentes stands out as a top producer within this prestigious area, consistently recognized as the #1 winery in Priorat by critics and sommeliers. With 32 hectares of vineyards, including some that are over 100 years old, the winery benefits from a rich legacy and meticulous cultivation practices.
The vineyards are managed by Josep Angel Mestre, whose profound connection to Priorat and extensive education in enology ensure a deep understanding of both viticulture and winemaking.

Aromas of blackberry, Red Delicious apple peel and lavender waft from the glass. This wine offers flavors of elderberry, dark chocolate, coffee bean, licorice, caramel and fresh sage set into slightly rigid tannins that linger on the tongue and gums. ~93 Wine Enthusiast
