“The village red 2016 Bellmunt, shows lots of elegance and balance. It seems like 2016 was a great year at the property, and many wines show really well. This is a blend of 65% Garnacha, 30% Cariñena and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon from younger vines and deeper soils, and it's a more approachable face of Priorat, with red fruit aromas and a medium-bodied palate with very fine tannins and great balance. This shows great purity, and there is no oak after an élevage of ten months in a mixture of 1,500- and 3,000-liter oak vats and 3,300-liter concrete vats.”
