Clos Bartolomé 2020

Clos Bartolomé is a red wine from the Priorat DOQ (DoQ) produced by the Clos Bartolomé Winery with a blend of Garnacha and Cariñena from vines over 45 years old. It is a wine that is both young and old, a fascinating contrast that reveals the past and present of the land in a glass.

TASTING NOTES
Intense cherry red color with violet hues. Powerful, fruity aroma (ripe fruit, red berries, etc.), concentrated and mature, with balsamic notes and mineral reminiscences on an oak background that provides light touches of toasted flavors and high-quality spices. On the palate, it is strong and fleshy, providing a certain complexity, remaining pleasant and well-structured. The fruit and oak from the barrels are finely integrated. Its tannins are fine and ripe, and together with the subtle notes of spices, it becomes a very fine, elegant, and long-lasting wine, with an aftertaste of concentrated, ripe fruit.

PRODUCTION
Harvested by hand, the grapes are transported in crates to ensure they arrive at their destination intact, healthy, and in optimal conditions for winemaking. Vinification takes place at a controlled temperature, and the must remains in fermentation vats for 14 days, the time required to create a wine with the appropriate level of color and polyphenolic substances.

AGING
This DOQ Priorat wine matures in medium-toasted Allier French oak barrels for 12 months.
