A particularly powerful, complex and lingering Priorate from old vines. Superb with flavoursome food. More info

The Cims de Porrera cooperative has stayed faithful to its ambition to keep its old vines productive with this wine crafted from grapes cultivated at altitude (350-500 metres) on 40 to 100-year-old stocks. The wine is powerful and complex, with intense aromas of dark fruit, chocolate, liquorice, coffee and vanilla, and a hint of the undergrowth. The palate is flavoursome, fresh and full. It is also intensely fruity with a nicely blended mineral quality to enhance it all the more. Keep for some years in the cellar and transfer to a carafe to allow its tannins to soften. This persistent wine is perfect with strongly-flavoured dishes.

Priorat Cims de Porrera Classic serve at a temperature of 16°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Filet de bœuf au vin rouge et aux champignons, Gigot d'agneau braisé, Grenadins de veau braisés.
