The Arbossar cuvée is a 100% Carignan from sheer slopes between 300 and 350 m high, facing North. The result is quite exceptional.
Vinification
Biodynamic and non-interventionist.
The bunches are not de-stemmed and vinified whole. Then they are left to macerate slowly, without adding any enzymes or yeasts. No pumping over and no treading during fermentation.
This is the only way to obtain such a refined Priorat wine.

Trial analysis
Austere at first, it opens up quickly with air. Then you get quite a lot of red fruit, first on the nose, then on the palate. The tannins are firm but also get softer with oxygen.
This very mineral and refined wine deserves some calm to be fully appreciated.
