Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Colline Teramane 'Notari' |
The 2022 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Colline Teramane Notari entices with a dusting of confectionary spices, lavender and wild blueberries. This is a total pleasure on the palate, cool and sleek with ripe wild berry fruit and a hint of citrus propelled by juicy acidity. It finishes with outstanding length and potency. A coating of fine tannins frames the experience without slowing its momentum. |

Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Colline Teramane Riserva 'Neromoro' |
The beastly and savage 2020 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva Colline Teramane Neromoro tempts the imagination with its depths of crushed blueberry and blackberry offset by a whiff of ashen stones and a minty herbal resonance. Silken to the core and quite elegant, it washes across the palate with grace, leaving a crackling of minerals and an air of lavender toward the close. This finishes with a staining of red and black fruit, sweet tannins and a pleasant bitter twang that keeps the taster looking back to the glass for more. |

Brut Rosat |
The 2022 Brut Rosat was produced with a blend of indigenous grapes, 49% Trepat, 21% Sumoll, 17% Garnacha and 13% Xarel.lo, and has some 6.9 grams of sugar. It has a pale color, almost like a blanc de noirs, and a subtle and clean nose, without terrible complexity but very pleasant and going beyond the stereotype of a rosé with some camphor and Mediterranean notes. It spent 24 months in bottle and was disgorged in January 2025. 10,778 bottles were produced. |

Lava Cap |
Chardonnay El Dorado |
This partially barrel-fermented wine offers aromas of green apples and Meyer lemons that are modestly spiced by nutmeg, toast and butter. Full-bodied but well balanced and lively, countering good fruit ripeness with acidity. Only 6% new oak is used. Drink now or hold. |

Coma Calcari |
The 2022 Coma Calcari is a Mediterranean Garnacha Blanca from limestone soils fermented with indigenous yeasts, with 50% of the wine in 500-liter barrels and 50% in stainless steel, where the wine matured for nine months. It's riper than the previous year, reflecting a warmer (and drier) vintage, with 14.5% alcohol. It has a showy, extroverted personality, with notes of yellow flowers and fruit, plenty of pollen and herbal tea notes, aromatic herbs and a salty/savory twist. The palate is round and lush but with refreshing chalky minerality. It's a triumph over the vintage, expressing the Mediterranean character of the year and place. 4,218 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2023. |

Bellmunt Vi de Vila |
The 2021 Bellmunt Negre is a village wine that showcases the freshness of the Garnacha fruit, which represents 70% of the blend this vintage, complemented with Cariñena from vines planted between 1996 and 1998. It fermented in stainless steel and matured in concrete and used 3,000-liter oak vats for 10 months. It has a bright ruby color, and the nose is all sweet Garnacha fruit, red berries and a spicy and earthy twist. It's medium to full-bodied, with very fine and elegant tannins. It comes in at 14% alcohol and with 5.5 grams of acidity. 32,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2023. |

Clos Fontà Vinyes Velles |
The red 2020 Clos Fontà is a traditional old-vine blend of 60% Garnacha from slate and 40% Cariñena from slate and granite soils. It fermented in 1,500-liter oak foudre and open-top 225-liter barrels and matured in 225-liter barrels and 1,500-liter foudre (30% new oak) for 14 months. It comes in at 15% alcohol, which is compensated by notable acidity. This seems to keep the more classical profile, ripe, heady and dusty, like the dirt paths between the vineyards. It has some spicy smokiness and a hint of volatility with wet slate and abundant, slightly dusty tannins. It should age nicely in bottle and make a nice, traditional bottle of red Priorat. 5,091 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2022. |
