Alfredo Arribas - Portal del Priorat Gotes del Priorat 2020

Catalonia, Spain (75 cL)

This red wine is a treat for the senses, offering an authentic expression of the Priorat terroir.

The freshness of Priorato, produced in the high-altitude, windy areas of La Morera.

Gotes del Priorat seduces us with its bouquet of balsams and a gentle note of liquorice. On tasting, it reveals a juicy, dynamic nature, where velvety tannins give way to a round of red fruits; cherries and wild blackberries intertwine in a concentrated embrace. The finish is complex. Proof that complexity is not incompatible with freshness: Gotes del Priorat is a noble wine, capable of seducing novices looking for immediate pleasure as well as the most demanding connoisseurs.

A renowned Barcelona architect, Alfredo Arribas could not fail to fall in love with Priorat and its landscapes shaped by man and time, an impressive succession of terraces and high hillsides surrounded by the Montsant mountains. In 2001, he acquired the 40-hectare Clos del Portal estate in the south of the denomination, near the villages of El Lloar and Bellmunt. The 14-hectare vineyard of old Grenache vines is cultivated organically and biodynamically on rare llicorella soils. The new winery has been designed to blend in perfectly with the natural amphitheatre formed by the vineyards.
