Our first single varietal from Priorat is finally born at “Les Solanes del Molar” plot. Each one of these bottles displays the expression of the soil thanks to the bush vines planted in 1975 that have made this wine possible.
With 14 months in French oak alongside 12 months in the bottle before being released, the wine develops a subtil flowery-jammy bouquet which invites to enjoy it slowly while it keeps opening up more aromas and flavours in the glass.
Our 2018 Carinyena is the result of perseverant years in pursuit of blending innovation and tradition.

Tasting notes: Aromas of blackberries, prunes, and dried figs that mellow an hour later into vanilla, nutmeg, butterscotch and toast.

Dry, smooth in the palate, intense flavours, great balance between tannins, acid and alcohol sensation of the wine with a delicate aſtertaste.
