Rocapoll 2021 red (vi de la vila de Gratallops, DOQ Priorat)

105,00

 

One-hundred-year-old carignan.

18-month ageing in a French oak barrel.

Artisan “vi de la vila” (Catalan for “village wine”) from Gratallops, DOQ Priorat, produced from Carignan grapes grown at our hundred-year-old vineyard. The output per vintage is 600 bottles. Some truly unique items.

The 2021 vintage was marked by generous humidity in the first 8 months of the year. It all started with the episode of the cyclone called Filomena, which left 1.5 m / 5 ft of snow on our vineyards, the spring and summer were also quite humid (without excess). The summer was characterised by very constant cloudiness, which translated into mild temperatures, with cool mornings. The end of August and the beginning of September were marked by abundant rains, the ripening of the grapes was prolonged and very harmonious, crowned with a late harvest. Fortunately, the unprecedented humidity of 2021 left no traces of disease. The luck of the Rocapoll vineyard is its north-faced orientation (leveraging the dawn light) and its location: height of more than 320 metres / 1,000 ft above sea level, on the second highest hill range of Gratallops (following the hill of the Hermitage of Consolació which has elevations of over 500 metres / 1,600 ft).  This exposure subjects the vineyard to a constant current of wind, so essential on rainy days in summer.
