Mas de Subira VI de Guarda Bodegas Morlanda DOQ Priorat, 2017

A blend of 50% Cariñena and 50% Garnacha, the varieties were harvested separately by hand into small 18-kilo boxes. After a second sorting at the winery, grapes were destemmed, fermented in tank then matured in 300-litre French oak barrels for 18 months. Mas de Subira 2017 is a savoury wine with aromas of wild herbs and meat. It is pure and linear in structure with treacle and raisin flavours with a bright, vibrant acidity. A wine with great depth of flavour, the oak is integrated and seamless. Wines have been produced by Judit Llop since 2003. Daughter of a vigneron in Tarragona, Judit worked for Bodegas Torres in Spain and Viña Errazuriz in Chile before joining Bodegas Morlanda.
