Tasting notes
Another of the producer’s grand crus, the 2022 Les Tosses is 100% Carinyena from Torroja del Priorat grown at high elevation. It’s a more medium-bodied, concentrated expression than many of the other wines, generous and mouthfilling in supple tannins and bold black fruit. While powerful, it’s also among its most refined, delicate on the palate with a melty quality, elegantly long and complex. There’s so much mineral influence from the black schist soils threaded throughout, a true one-of-a-kind wine. Hold and drink 2032-2040.

The 2022 Les Tosses from Torroja del Priorat is 100% Cariñena. It opens with balsamic aromas, pomegranate and garrigue , offering complexity and nuance. Dry, with Priorat’s typical talc-like compact texture, it combines delicate freshness with juicy grip, echoing the aromatics on the finish. Long and subtly grippy, it is a precise interpretation of the warm 2022 vintage where vineyard management, ripeness and extraction were finely balanced.
The top Cariñena 2022 Les Tosses followed a similar vinification and élevage as the rest of reds from 2022, with a light and short fermentation with indigenous yeasts and eight months in concrete. It also has similar parameters as its siblings, some 13.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.68 and 4.6 grams of acidity. It's a Cariñena of finesse and subtleness that's nuanced and complex. It has notes of wild berries, flowers, an earthy touch and hints of tree bark and pine needles. It's medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins and good grip. 3,106 bottles were filled in May 2023.
