Manual harvest in 10 kg boxes of grapes exclusively from slate slopes. Grain-by-grain classification of the grapes with a double selection table and entry into tanks by gravity. Fermentation in 15 and 30 Hl wooden tanks. Malolactic transformation and aging carried out in new 225l French oak barrels, fine grain and medium light toast for 15 months. Bottled without fining or filtering. Minimum aging in bottle of 11 months.

Aromas of cocoa powder, grilled meat, sage, espresso and blackberries. Full-bodied with silky tannins. So elegant and refined with real supple texture and rounded black fruit. Effortless balance. Delicious.

The 2019 Vinyes Velles was produced with 79% Cariñena and 21% Garnacha from slope vineyards older than 70 years on llicorella slate soils all within the limits of the village of Porrera. They look for elegance and freshness and avoid over-extraction and over-ripeness; all of the wines are produced in a similar way—fermentation after a short cold soak, with pumping over and punching down and macerated until the taste tells them it's enough. This wine matured in 225-liter French barriques for 16 months. It has 14.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.39 and 5.49 grams of acidity. It has a fruit-driven nose with ripe berries and spices and an earthy touch, reminiscences of graphite, with integrated oak. The palate is full-bodied and juicy, with very fine tannins. 26,824 bottles and 453 magnums produced. It was bottled in June 2021. Anticipated Maturity: 2024-2032
