2019 Joan Simó Viatge MAGNUM Priorat 1.50 Ltr. Tinto
picture of

Viatge al Priorat is a great introduction to Priorat, or for those looking for a more youthful expression of the region (read: not-so-brooding). While the fruit is deep and dark, minerality from the slates, lively acidity and delicate tannin give the wine a taut structure and lift.

climate

Generally, the climate is more extreme than most continental areas although there are marked contrasts between valleys and highlands. Thus, there are cold northern winds, but these are buffered by the Montsant massif, and the warm Mistral blows in from the east.

soil

The Priorat area is of volcanic origin, which gives its soils unique features. The soil is acid, poor in organic matter but rich in slate.

vinification

60% Garnacha, 20% Cabernet, 15% Syrah & 5% Merlot. Fermentation in tank followed by 8 months aging in third use French oak barrique.
