Tasting notes
Carinyena. Transparent crimson. Rich, layered nose with a hint of gaminess. Real structure and depth here. I assume this is from some of their oldest vines? There’s quite a depth of flavour and great length. Much more long-term than the Arbossar. (JR)

The 2021 Dits del Terra shows lower alcohol and more freshness, and it has an herbal note and feels very young and undeveloped. Like most of the 2021s, they shortened the time of aging, and it was completely in concrete and didn't touch any oak (they sold all the foudres). There's purity and precision, elegance and freshness. 4,098 bottles were filled in June 2022.
The 2021 Dits del Terra is 100% Cariñena from Priorat. A rare example of a light red from the warm southern-exposed slopes, it offers candied sour cherry aromas with faint hints of leaves and marmalade. Dry and rich yet vibrant on the palate, the nuanced flavors and fine-grained tannins add depth to its mild character. This red pivots on heightened acidity, providing a cleansing mouthfeel—a different wine style for Priorat.
