Adrets del Priorat NerinTerra (Priorat)
The 2021 Nerin Terra was produced with a blend of 77% Garnacha, 18% Cariñena and 5% other varieties from a single plot, Clos de l'Afaitador, between El Molar and Bellmunt. The varieties ripen at different moments and fermented separately, destemmed and with indigenous yeasts. The wine matured in used 300- and 500-liter French oak barrels for 24 months. It comes through in an elegant and not so extracted or oaked style, respecting the character of the place in a balanced and subtle way, but it's not a shy wine; it has full ripeness and 15% alcohol that goes unnoticed, balanced by very good freshness, reflected by a pH of 3.4. It's textured and fine-boned, with elegant tannins and a velvety mouthfeel. An elegant Priorat, yes. 3,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2024.
