90 Pts Josh Raynolds - Vinous Media

"Deep red. Spicy blueberry and kirsch aromas are brightened by white pepper and minerals. Juicy dark fruit flavors stop short of jammy, with firm tannins adding grip. Sweet vanillin oak spice builds on the long, sappy finish, which features a lingering raspberry note. This could pass for a big New World pinot." 90 Points - Josh Raynolds - International Wine Cellar

WINE:
"Red wine aged for 16 months in new fine-grained French (Allier) oak barriques. All of the grapes used are grown and harvested in our own vineyards. 40% Carinyena (Carignan), 40% Garnacha (Grenache), and 20% Merlot and Syrah. Only 500 bottles produced. This wine can be enjoyed at the present time, but will continue to improve over a period of 10 years." -Winemaker

ESTATE:
"Celler de l'Encastell is a small family-run vienyard and winery in the town of Porrera, DOQ Priorat, where "Roquers de Porrera" is produced. Grapes only from our estates "Mas d'en Cacador" & "Mas d'en Ferran" owned and looked after by several generations who were selling to other local wineries."

Carme Figuerola and Ramon Castellvi built the winery and got started in 1999, moved by their passion for wine. Conviced about the soil where their vineyard grows, this oxyd-ferric degraded slate, of acid characteristics, and locally called "llicorella", our grapes, and challenged to bring to each bottle the exceptionality of Priorat." -Winery

REGION:
"To the trained or untrained eye, what immediately distinguishes Priorat from other grape-growing regions in the world is its soil type. Many believe the secret to Priorat’s success lies in its amazing, granite-like soils, known to the Catalan people as llicorella and to the rest of Spain as pizarra. The llicorella soil resembles slate or shale rock, intermixed with tiny bands of reddish-brown earth. The name llicorella stems from the Catalan word for licorice, chosen to describe the black, somewhat shiny rocky substrate which is high in mineral content. Rather easy to break apart by hand in one direction, but virtually indestructible in another, this magnificent rock forces the roots of vines to dig very deep in search of water, and is credited for the intensity and mineral character of the wines."

"Another important aspect of Priorat’s unique terroir is its climate. The region is extremely arid and receives hardly any rain during the summer months. Irrigation is rarely used as water is scarce, and is typically saved for the youngest vines and the hottest years. Due to the steep slopes, rocky soil and little water, the annual production per acre in Priorat is extremely low. A head-pruned, old vine in the region might yield only enough fruit for a half-bottle of wine."

"This low production directly contributes to the characteristically concentrated wines of the region, which have great tannins, deep color and high alcohol content (13.5-15.5%). The extremely harsh growing conditions and low-yielding vines also help explain the high cost of Priorat wines, which are justifiably more expensive than those of other high-volume wine regions of Spain" -Priorat Wines
