Description
Grown on the regions unique llicorella soils just 20km from the Mediterranean Sea, the Vinya Pendents 2018 is a dark ink in the glass, with aromas of ripe red berries and blackcurrant notes. The palate is earthy and juicy with notes of Mediterranean herbs and a salinity from the proximity to the sea. A full-bodied red with a long-lasting finish.
The Perinet estate consists of three separate vineyard plots, each with a distinct microclimate, within the ancient Priorat region. The personalities of each vineyard are reflected in the grapes; warm and fruit-forward in Mas Vell, fresh and vibrant in Mas del Xes, and spice-laden in Pendents. Traditional varieties Garnacha and Carignan are planted amongst international varieties Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Vines are grown on llicorella soils that are unique to the Priorat DOQ, in conditions where other plants struggle to grow, their roots having to dig deep in search of water and nutrients. Perinet is a modern winery in a very traditional region – different varieties, wines and techniques make Perinet a place where the past meets the future.
Food matches: Perfect with venison, wild boar and slow cooked oxtail.
