Ritme 2014

"The entry-level red 2014 Ritme Negre is a blend of Cariñena with some 30% Garnacha from different villages of Poboleda, Porrera, Bellmunt, El Molar, El Lloar and Cornudella, all from old vines ranging from 20 to 80 years of age on slate soils at altitudes from 300 to 650 meters above sea level. The grapes fermented in stainless steel with a maceration of some 15 days and the wine had malolactic and matured in French oak barrels for eight months. This is the lightest of the reds here, with a dark ruby color and a clean and focused nose of wild berries and some spices. The palate is vibrant and lively, with a silky texture and very pleasant flavors, with good depth and length. A great introduction to Priorat. There are 58,300 bottles produced, a significant quantity for Priorat."
