The Porrera Vi de Vila 2022 is a top wine from Vall Llach. This wine is made from the oldest vines (older than 100 years) and can age beautifully. The composition is 50% Cariñena with 50% Garnache.
The yield here is barely 300 grams of grapes per vine. Not for nothing did Lluis Llach (Catalan chansonnier and wine fanatic) give his name to this wine.
A true Cult wine of Vall Llach.
The Porrera Vi de Vila 2022 is deep dark purple in color, almost black.
In the nose lots of dark fruit such plums, black cherries and blackcurrants with notes of granite, black pepper, chocolate, vanilla and smoky notes.
In the mouth lots of dark fruit. Beautifully round, complex and with lots of depth and an everlasting finish. A wine you have to taste two to three times to grasp its richness of nuances. Power coupled with underlying finesse, complexity and above all depth that emerges after several years of bottle aging.
Fits perfectly with:
Aged cheeses, spicy dishes, grilled, roasted, stewed game: boar, duck, grouse, pheasant, game, und meat and lamb.

The destemmed grapes ferment in stainless steel tanks of 2,500 and 5,000 liters.

Then the Cariñena is transferred to 17 hl of French oak and 20 hl of second-year barriques of light- and medium-roasted fine-grained new French oak.
