DO Montsant

HIGH-PROFILE RED WINE

Quinzè projecte (P-15)!. Aquella Ha de la Vinya Mas d’en Joan Gros, centenària i ara ecològica, que descobrirem fa 15 anys ja està a punt de desaparèixer. El Samsó ja es va esgotant però encara segueix donant-nos el plaer de poder elaborar unes poques ampolles d’un vi pur, elegant, diríem quasi sublim, com un elixir que any rera any ens ha sorprès en positiu. Són quinze projectes diferents però sempre “plens d`emocions” on Josep Maria Vendrell i Gran Anyada, (Mariá Bigorda, pare i fill) hi posen tota la seva sapiència per extreure el millor d’uns ceps molt vells que no voldríem perdre mai però malhauradament aquesta anyada és l’ última i la 3a millor de les 15 elaborades.

CHARACTERISTICS

  • 103-year-old goblet-pruned vines in limestone-rich clay soil of excellent depth. The production in 2022 was around 350g. of grapes per vine, which allowed for 700kg and 580 numbered bottles.

  • Fermentation lasted for one and a half months, at a controlled temperature of 24-25ºC, and malolactic fermentation finally carried out in the barrel itself.

  • Es va considerar oportú posar-lo en barrica 10 mesos, conservant tot el seu potencial varietal i de fruita com es mereix aquesta microelaboració tant especial. El resultat ha sigut l’ explosió de fruita vermella, madura i confitada que ha tingut cada projecte de Semal amb una bona intensitat de color i una acidesa que ens permetrà assegurar una llongevitat del vi de més de 14 anys.

HOW TO SERVE IT

Serve from 16,5-17ºC.
Decant the wine an hour before serving it. Turn the bottle upside down and let the wine splash out of the bottle into the centre of the decanter, then spin it counter-clockwise a couple of times and let it sit.

REMEMBER...

  • Wines are always stored horizontally in a cool place where temperatures don’t go above 18ºC.
  • The colour, its intensity and hue, can define the features and characteristics of the wine.
  • It is important to open the bottles or decant them before consumption depending on the type of wine.
  • The Montsant DO forms a “ring” and inside it we can find the Priorat QDO.
