2021 Vi de Vila de Porrera Cims de Porrera Priorat 0,75l

A village wine that captures the distinctive character of Porrera, one of Priorat’s most compelling corners. Made around the traditional varieties Cariñena and Garnacha, the 2021 combines concentrated dark fruit and Mediterranean herbs with the freshness and mineral drive of the area’s llicorella slate soils. Cims de Porrera was founded in the 1990s to preserve the village’s historic vineyards and showcase their potential.

Tasting Notes
The nose opens with sour cherry, blackberry, dark plum and ripe raspberry, followed by thyme, rosemary, lavender, liquorice and black pepper. With air, notes of graphite, dark chocolate and smoky, slate-like minerality emerge. The palate is full-bodied and concentrated, balanced by lively acidity and ripe, fine-grained tannins. Dark fruit carries through to a long finish with dried herbs, graphite and a subtle savoury edge. Structured and fresh, the wine should develop well in bottle. With time, its fruit may give way to notes of leather, tobacco, woodland, dried herbs and balsamic spice.

Production
The grapes come from selected parcels within Porrera, where steep, partly terraced slopes and poor llicorella slate soils produce low yields and concentrated fruit. Vineyard work on these challenging slopes is largely done by hand in many areas. Cariñena brings structure, acidity and savoury spice, while Garnacha adds juicy red fruit and warmth. After careful vinification, the wine is matured in wooden barrels to refine its tannins and bring the blend together; specific harvesting and vinification details are not provided.

Food & Serving
Serve at 16–17°C in a large Bordeaux glass. In its youth, give the wine generous aeration or decant it before serving. It pairs well with roast lamb, braised beef, venison, grilled entrecôte and Iberian pork, especially alongside rosemary or thyme. Earthy dishes with porcini or truffle, as well as aged Manchego, also complement its savoury, mineral character.
