Mas La Mola 2016 Priorat

85% Garnacha Negra, 15% Garnacha Peluda

The seven hectare Mas La Mola estate has been in the Ferrando family for 150 years. Today, the viticulture, winemaking and blending are carried out by Jordi Masdeu (a young Spaniard who spent time working in the wine trade in London) and Alessandro Marchesan. The duo’s approach to making wine is artisanal, with a diminutive winery tucked away in the streets of Poboleda, in the north of Priorat.

The ‘Vi d’Altura’ Priorat has all the layered complexity that one would expect of a top-class wine from this area. it has intense perfumes of black cherries, blueberries, with smoky minerality and a hint of spicy oak.
