Salanques

2022

Balance, tension, and minerality.
The true Priorat personality.

Varieties and vineyards

70% Grenache, 20% Carignan and 10% Syrah.
Bush vines of 25 to 30 years old.

Soil and climate

Steep slate “llicorella” hillsides.
Mediterranean days and continental nights. High diurnal range.

Elaboration and ageing

Manual harvesting, selecting the grapes in the vineyard. A second selection is made before destemming 100% of the grapes. A rigorous third selection is carried out, berry by berry, on the table in the winery. Part of the grapes ferment in stainless steel tanks and the other part in French oak vats. After two weeks of maceration, we press, retaining only the bleed for Salanques. Once the malolactic fermentation is complete, we transfer the wine to barrels.

Aging: 12 to 14 months in first, second and third year French oak barrels.

Vintage 2022

The 2022 climate will be remembered especially for its warmth, and above all, for its persistence throughout the summer. A summer that also started early, with positive temperature anomalies of more than 2 degrees Celsius since May. The lack of precipitation is also notable: although the July storms helped to stem the tide, the lack of water was evident throughout the year. Despite these conditions, the vines showed strong resistance to water stress and kept the fruit in perfect condition.
