Produced by Finca Tobella, this wine encapsulates the distinctive character of Priorat, showcasing the intense flavors and rich texture associated with the region’s unique terroir.

Terrior

The warm, dry climate with significant diurnal temperature variation allows for ripeness and balance, enhancing both fruit concentration and acidity.

Finish
The finish is long and persistent, with lingering notes of dark fruit, licorice, and a touch of earthy minerality, characteristic of Priorat wines.
