TASTING NOTES

A friendly wine in a modern style that hopes to bring the world a taste of the Priorat. A wine with freshness, fruit and minerality. A snapshot of the Priorat landscape in the form of a sip. Made from old vines from the regions of Gratallops and Vilella Alta. The main grape varietals are Grenache and Carignan, with a touch of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. 12 months ageing in French and American Oak barrels. A balance of mineral harmony pegged to the Llicorella backbone, that opens to spice, ripe fruit, herbal notes and a consistent freshness.

Samsara has a deep ruby colour, on the nose it shows ripe red fruits, hints of mandarin, herbaceous notes, minerality, green tea, cassis and spice. Well-integrated barrel presence. On the palate is clean and fresh, with body and textural complexity, strong presence of fruit and minerality. Cherry, pomegranate, toffee, and spices. Mature tannins. Good persistence of mature fruits that linger on the palate, fresh and balanced.

The word Samsara originates from India, representing the reincarnation. The winery used this idea to express the union of natural elements and the human being, in a land as complex as Priorat. The spice route from India is also emblematic of this spicy wine. The label is an old vine with red tones that represent the red fruits of the wine, and blue tones that are the minerality of the wine.
