This Pleret 2013 from winery Buil & Giné is a blend of Grenache and Carignan from 100-year-old bush vines. The blend is complex due to the combination of grape and cedar wood aromas's. Very powerful and complex.
This top wine from Buil & Giné belongs to the absolute top of the wine world. Only the best grapes from the oldest vines of the finca are used for the production of the Pleret Especial.
A wine to discover and enjoy, which after opening evolves (slowly) in many flavors, layers and sensations ... a real experience that makes you aware of the essence of Priorat and its vines.
In the glass an intense deep red color with bright and ruby reflections.
In the medium(++) nose notes of black fruits, earthy tones, leather and minerals, with a preponderance of ripe forest fruits, vanilla and slightly burnt overtones.
On the full palate, dry with medium acidity and medium(+) tannins. Elegant and balanced with an entrance of ripe dark fruit followed by a fresh palate with an unctuous, long finish with light wood tones. A wine to enjoy by the fireplace with a good book.
Pairs perfectly with:
Meat and fish, salads with forest fruits, jams and soy. Also with non-citric and rather sweet desserts such as nougat, coulants, etc. It pairs excellently with sweet and sour contrasts, caramelized onions, soy, compotes, chocolate sauces, etc.
Grenache and Carignan from 100-year-old vines. Cabernet Sauvignon from vineyards between 20 and 25 years old, Syrah and Merlot from vineyards between 15 and 20 years old. All in the municipalities of Bellmunt del Priorat, La Vilella Baixa,
