Product info

Les Tosses is a spectacular high-altitude vineyard, whose soils are composed of the local slate, named Llicorella. the Carignan vines are 100 year-old. It is thus the quintessential Carignan wine of the Priorat. Very small yield.

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. Then the wine rests for 18 months in big wooden vats.
This is the only way to obtain such a refined Priorat wine.

Storage potential
25 years.

To serve
In a large Burgundy glass.

Trial analysis
The wine needs a lot of air before it gives itself. Then appear the almond flower and red fruit notes. Can a wine be austere and complex at the same time? Yes, this one is both. It is also very well balanced, fresh and it feels still very young. And what a long finish!

The 2016 Les Manyes is a hard act to follow, but I could have said the pure Cariñena 2016 Les Tosses was a Garnacha, such is the elegance and the floral, nuanced nose! This might be the most elegant Cariñena out there. It comes from a very old, steep vineyard in the village of Torroja on very dark slate soils. It matured in an oak foudre, quite old, and there is a nice note of graphite and wet slate, red and black cherries and a spice touch. It has great freshness, good acidity and is fluid and relaxed, powerful yet elegant and harmonious. 2,668 bottles were filled in July 2018.
