HK$ 321.10
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2023 Camins del Priorat, the regional blend from eight villages (and some 90 vineyards), was produced with 45% Garnacha, 17% Cariñena, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 9% Syrah and up to 6% white grapes. It fermented in a mixture of stainless steel, concrete and oak vats with indigenous yeasts and part of full clusters with a maceration of 21 days and a short élevage in oak barrels and vats of four months. The wine showed a dark color and a ripe nose, samples can sometimes be difficult, this showed quite Mediterranean with notes of aromatic herbs and also a herbal but ripe touch from the French grapes. It's modern, international, with foreign varieties... This is not easy, in the context of the other wines. They expected to fill some 195,000 bottles in April 2024.
