PRIORAT: Catalonia's Wine Gem

Nestled in the picturesque region of Catalonia, Spain, the Priorat designation of origin (DOQ) stands tall as a prestigious wine haven. Renowned primarily for its exceptional red wines, Priorat showcases a masterful blend of indigenous grape varieties, including the vibrant Garnacha (Grenache) and the robust Cariñena (Carignan). But what truly sets Priorat apart is its extraordinary terroir, the ultimate architect behind these exceptional wines.

Nature's Canvas: A Terroir like No Other

Imagine vineyards perched on steep hillsides, caressed by warm Mediterranean breezes. These hillsides boast slate soils, locally known as "llicorella," that provide a unique foundation for the vines to flourish. The result? Grapes that embody unrivaled concentration and flavour intensity, capturing the very essence of the region. With low-yielding vineyards and a climate ripe for excellence, Priorat truly paints a masterpiece on every bottle.

DESTÍ: The Enchanting Elixir

Let us now introduce you to DESTÍ, a captivating wine that epitomizes the best of Priorat's heritage. Crafted from a traditional blend of mainly Grenache and Carignan, with occasional appearances by renowned French varietals such as Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, DESTÍ takes you on an exquisite sensory journey.

Unlocking the Aromas and Flavours

As you delve into DESTÍ, prepare to be greeted by a complex bouquet of aromas, dominated by delightful red fruits like raspberries and red currants. The balsamic taste that unfolds across your palate is a true testament to the wine's elegance. With hints of mountain herbs, flavours of dark plums, and cherries that dance on your taste buds, DESTÍ strikes the perfect balance with its silky smoothness and sweet, rounded tannins. The grand finale? A long, smooth, and persistent finish that leaves you yearning for another sip.

A Culinary Match Made in Heaven

DESTÍ's rich and spicy Grenache-based red is a match made in culinary heaven. It flawlessly pairs with a myriad of Mediterranean dishes, from a sumptuous roasted turbot with potato gratin to the traditional Spanish delicacy of cured ham. And for those who love to indulge in grilled red meat basted with aromatic herbs, DESTÍ adds the perfect touch of elegance to your dining experience.
