A lively red, with a minerally base note and flavors of black and red currant, brambly herbs, mocha, tangy orange peel and iron. Alison Napjus, September 2022

Secret del Priorat reflects the typicity and diversity of this incredible region, a land of small miracles that happen every day, like the flowers on a lone almond tree in the middle of the vineyard. The magical landscape of Priorat brings us this pleasant, delicate wine in a tribute to the local landscape, with its steep slopes and llicorella slate soils, and its valiant winegrowing,
where nature prevails above all else.

TASTING NOTES:
Deep, opaque cherry red color. Impressive fruit intensity (blueberries, black forest fruit) with spicy black pepper notes and an elegant mineral nuance characteristic of the terroir. Flavorful, rich, and complex on the palate, graced with velvety, fleshy tannins that are so ripe they leave aromatic echoes of dried figs and dates. A potent wine with good length and personality
