TRIUMVIRAT 2007, TERRA DE VEREMA

TASTING NOTES

Spicy and supple, the Triumvirat is beautifully balanced, even elegant, and it's smooth as silk, almost Burgundian in style. It's one of two cuvées produced from a blend of Carignan, Grenache and Syrah. With an average vine age of 25 years, the use of oak is limited to 12 months in 225 litre and 300 litre second fill barrels. This is the (relatively) lighter and more approachable of the wines and is delightful in its youth.

PRODUCER NOTES

A partnership between Ramon Farre Marti and Ester Nin Llort in the Vilella Baixa del Priorato region beginning in 2005. Their Carignan based wines have already received much critical praise, securing them among the top handcrafted producers in this prestigious region. Like all of Ester's projects, Terra de Verema is farmed biodynamically.

Grapes are grown on steep, brown, slate-terraced vineyards typical of Priorat, at altitudes ranging from 350 to 500 metres. Yields are incredibly low, averaging 14hl/ha. The naturally low yields combined with Priorat’s terroir give wines of great intensity, depth and an unmistakable minerality rarely matched anywhere else in the world.
