The rosé 2021 Gratallops Vi de Villa Rosat was produced with a majority (70% to 80%) in the Planassos part between Mogador and Manyetes of Garnacha, Macabeo and Cariñena plus the grapes from younger vines (Mogador, Nelin…). It has a bright salmon color and a very different and characterful nose, savory, reminiscent of chicken broth (salty!), herbal and super tasty. It’s quite direct, with 13.5% alcohol and very good freshness, a bit atypical for Priorat, very long, precise, clean and dry. This matured in a 2,000-liter 10-year-old oak foudre for 18 months. They produced some 3,000 bottles. Brilliant! 94 Points, Robert Parker – Wine Advocate

Finishes mildly textural and slightly saline. Mouthwatering and delicious. Give it some food! Waters Wine Co

Add to cart Producer: Pierre-Yves Colin-MoreyAlea holds some additional sweetness as its canon. There’s an appealing and ultra-high drinkability here. Charm in spades. Floral scents of frangipani and lemon blossom with candied ginger, lime juice, just-ripe pineapple and tonic water. Similar to taste with a slipperiness to texture that feels well metered by the building crispness of the finish. More […]
Add to cart Producer: Grosset“From the Rende vineyard, the heartbeat of the Vanguardist wines, in Blewitt Springs. Michael Corbett takes all his wines very seriously, and that’s no different for rosé, with his estimate predicating a decade’s cellar life. It’s certainly got the flavour depth, texture and a smartly pithy draw of grip to support the notion. An assertive […]
