Made primarily from old-vine Carignan and Grenache, with small amounts of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah, this wine is deeply concentrated with a dark garnet hue. The nose reveals layers of blackberries, plums, and ripe cherries, accented by hints of vanilla, cedar, and crushed herbs. On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety, with rich flavors of dark fruit, chocolate, and a touch of spice. The tannins are well-structured, leading to a long, elegant finish.
Producer Information
From its founding in the early 1990s, by famed Spanish singer LluÃs Llach and notary Enric Costa, Vall Llach winemaking has been governed by a commitment to rigor and quality. The winery lies in the tiny village of Porerra, in southern Catalonia, in the highly-acclaimed D.O.Q. Priorat. Here, the magnificent century-old vineyard estates of Vall Llach are home to 60- to 90-year-old Cariñena and Garnacha vines. Old vines naturally produce low yields, and Vall Llach reduces yields even further through careful vineyard management for densely concentrated wines. Vineyards climb steep slate hillsides, receiving optimum sun exposure and beneficial water deprivation, further concentrating the fruit. Newer plantings of Garnacha, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah add complexity to the old-vine character, and the resulting wines – Vall Llach, Idus, and Embruix – have received high critical acclaim.
