Tasting notes
The village red 2021 Gratallops was produced with a blend of 74% Garnacha, 25% Cariñena and 1% white grapes (Garnacha Blanca , Macabeo and PX) from different vineyards they own in Gratallops on llicorella slate soils. It fermented with 40% full clusters and matured in French oak foudres and large barrels for 14 months. It has 14.5% alcohol and a low pH of 3.34, keeping good acidity. The vintage was magic, with a spectacular snow storm in January. The wine is elegant, polished after the élevage. This is possibly the finest vintage of Gratallops, with a similar profile to the rest of 2021s, perhaps a little riper, quite fruit-driven, with warmth and freshness and very good overall balance. It develops notes of honey and beeswax with time in the glass. 17,300 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2023.

The 2021 Gratallops Vi de Vila is Garnatxa, Carinyena and dashes of other grapes sourced from various vineyards in the town of Gratallops in Priorat. This purple-hued wine features aromas of pomegranate and sour cherry, defining an enticing profile with hints of herbs and undergrowth. Dry, lean and compact, the flavorful palate lingers long with a chalky, lithe texture. This is a bright wine with a deep, infusion-like style. Delightful.
