About
Based in the town of Gratallops, in the hills of Priorat, this winery only sources from old vineyards 800 meters above sea level. Hence the name "The 800's."
After harvesting the different varieties are separately fermented. The wine undergoes a long maceration of 24 days at a temperature of 26ºC to 28ºC, followed by the malolactic fermentation. The wine is then aged in French and American oak barrels for 6 months prior to bottling. During aging temperature is controlled at 16ºC.

Review
2005: "Bright red. Fresh raspberry and candied cherry on the nose, plus a jolt of minerals adding energy. Crisp, nervy red berry flavors are underscored by zesty minerality and gain sweetness on the finish. Very fresh and elegant, especially for the price. $23"
