Priorat
The soils of the Priorat terroir are shallow, with the parent rock almost at the surface. The soil has a low organic matter content and is formed mainly by the disintegration of slate, known here as "llicorella", brittle laminar stones between which the roots of the vines sink in search of moisture and nutrients. The tortuous geography of the Priorat region means that vines have to be grown on slopes, some of which do not allow mechanical access, implying some of the most traditional forms of cultivation. Relative isolation from the influence of the sea and the protection afforded by the Montsant mountain range give the DOQ Priorat singular climatic conditions, marked mainly by sudden temperature changes between day and night. These conditions shape the character of Priorat wines.
The most widely grown grape varieties in the Priorat are the black varieties, such as carinyena (carignan) and garnatxa (grenache), which are the most important indigenous grape varieties. Wine lovers will appreciate the richness of Priorat wine through the vintages offered by Bodega Portal del Priorat.

92/100 Robert Parker
A powerful combination for this Priorat pleasure! The work of 3 talented French winemakers, Laurent Combier, Jean-Michel Gerin and Peter Fischer, this wine takes us to the heart of the Catalan hills. Immerse yourself in the depth of its aromatics, where fresh red fruit dominates over spices and vanilla. This cuvée is soft and silky with great character and power, filling your mouth with its minerality and fruitiness. A Priorat for everyone, and one that will satisfy even the most expert palates.

91/100 Robert Parker
From the purple schist of the Priorat region, this 100% Carignan expresses its finesse and elegance. To fully express its potential, it needs to be decanted and opened at least 2 hours before tasting. Ideal with rack of lamb, roast meats, terrines...
L'Infernal - Aguilera 2011
94/100 Robert Parker
The brainchild of Léo Cuisinier and Lucas Chazallet, this vintage delivers an explosion of flavor and freshness on the nose. Slight floral and gourmand notes. The style of the great Priorats is in the glass. Ample and beautifully balanced. The texture is very fluid and dynamic. Great, complex length, Aguilera 2011 is a multi-faceted wine: a sensation of opulence, a slight smokiness bounces back delicately before a powerful but very fresh finish. Great potential.
Alvaro Palacios - Finca Dofi 2014
5/5 (1 review)
95+/100 Robert Parker

94/100 Penin
"Finca Dofi 2014 is a blend of around 94% Grenache and 6% Carignan from a parcel in Gratallops called Finca Dofi. [...] It's terribly vibrant, with silkiness and purity, concise but at the same time ripe. The wood is very coated and there's none of the volatility some associate with Priorat; the perfumes are clearly reminiscent of older Dofi vintages, albeit with a much rounder texture. Once again, acidity provides punch and depth. The finish is tasty and very mineral. It resembles the 2013. A superb vintage of Dofi. Elegance in the bottle. " (Wine Advocate 2016 - Robert Parker) Wooden case delivery on orders of 6 bottles of this wine.
Genium Celler - Ecologic 2009
3/5 (2 reviews)
90/100 Wine Spectator
Produced from a 3-hectare parcel of organically farmed land, Cuvée Ecologic is a beautiful crimson color. The blend of Grenache, Merlot, Carignan and Syrah produces a wine with remarkable fruit expression. A very good Priorat!
La Conreria d'Scala Dei - La Conreria 2010
3.6/5 (10 reviews)
La Conreria develops very pleasant aromas of fresh red fruit with hints of spice. Voluminous on the palate with elegant tannins, this Priorat frankly announces its Mediterranean identity thanks to a long finish with hints of garrigue. Not to be missed!
Bodega Los 800 - Priorat 2010
3.5/5 (21 reviews)
This Priorat opens with a crimson color and an intense nose, offering ripe fruit aromas accompanied by spicy, toasty tones. The attack on the palate is soft, with well-integrated acidity, volume and a long, delicately woody finish. Enjoy with Iberian charcuterie, for example...
Genium Celler 2007
2.7/5 (11 reviews)
"Genium 2007 is 60% Grenache, 20% Carignan, complemented by Merlot and Syrah. The Grenache and Carignan come from vines over 90 years old. It was aged for 10 months in French oak barrels. Asian spices, incense, plum, blackberry and balsamic notes on the nose, in the racy Priorat style. Juicy, concentrated and well-proportioned, it will evolve for 1-2 years and drink well into 2019." (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker)
Celler Cal Pla Porrera - Mas d'en Compte 2009
4/5 (37 reviews)
Rating: Robert Parker 96/100
"The 2009 Celler Cal Pla Mas d'en Compte is a blend of 50% Grenache (+100 years old), 40% Carignan and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged 14 months in French oak barrels. An incredible affair, offering an inky-purple color and flavors of raspberry jam, sweet blueberry, cassis, crushed stone, graphite and spring flower. Astonishing richness and intensity, with a magnificent mouthfeel and full-bodied finish, characterize this brilliant, if not prodigious Priorato." (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker)
Bodegas Portal de Priorat - Gotes del Priorat 2009
3.9/5 (9 reviews)
Notes : Robert Parker 91/100, RVF 15/20
"Portal del Priorat's range of red wines begins with Gotes 2009. Aromas of spice box, lavender, mineral, black cherry, and plum make up the nose of this great value Priorat that is straightforward and long on the palate." (Robert Parker - Wine Advocate May 2011)
Mas Doix - Priorat Las Crestas 2007
The Las Crestes vineyard is located at an altitude of 400m on a slate terroir called "licorella". A red wine with a majority of Grenache grapes, aged 10 months in French oak barrels. An elegant, rich wine, very typical of Priorat. Discover it for yourself!
Bodegas Portal de Priorat - Somni 2008
3/5 (1 review)
Notes : Robert Parker 93/100, RVF 17/20
"The 2008 Somni looks as good as the 2009 in every way. Also deep in color, it is dense, rich, luxurious and offers exceptional volume and length..." (Robert Parker - May 2011)
Bodegas Mas Doix - Priorat Costers de Vinyes Velles 2006
Notes : Robert Parker 97/100, RVF 17/20
"The 2006 Doix rises considerably in power. It develops a bewitchingly sexy bouquet of new oak, liquid minerality, lavender, incense and wild berries. Complex, elegant, in the style of La Tâche, it provokes both the senses and the intellect. This remarkable wine should evolve for another 5-7 years, but it's hard to resist today." (Robert Parker - May 2011)
Bodegas Mas Doix - Priorat Salanques 2006
4/5 (4 reviews)
Rating: Robert Parker 93/100, Wine Spectator Top 100 wines of the year
In the northeastern part of Priorat, Mas Doix enjoys a privileged geographical location, with its vineyards protected between two natural barriers, Montsant and Serra del Mollo. Temperatures here are lower than normal for the region, allowing perfect ripening of the grapes and later harvesting, resulting in intense, superbly balanced wines, such as this splendid Salanques 2006. A great Priorat!
