Perinet Priorat 2016

The pure expression of a classic Priorat wine, respecting the blend of the traditional Priorat grapes and showcasing the terroir. The fruit ripens at different stages throughout the estate vineyards and is picked and sorted by hand. All lots are cold-soaked for 1-2 days before fermentation in stainless steel tanks. At Perinet, we use a technique called gas rumbling to break up the cap during fermentation. Macerations lasted more than 30 days to achieve optimum flavor and tannin extraction. The wine is racked into 40% new and 55% 1-year old French oak barrels. This blend includes 5% new American oak to add toasty and spicy aromas. This wine is unfined and unfiltered. The complexity of the Perinet 2016 is extreme, showcasing a full body and rich tannin structure. You can enjoy it today, but it will age nicely in your cellar.
