Note di degustazione
The 2022 Escurçons Garnatxa from Falset, Priorat, includes a touch of carbonic maceration with stems and was aged in amphorae. Modern in style, it opens with herbal notes, field herbs, ripe red fruit, elderberry and cherry, finishing with a hop-like nuance. The palate shines, restraining the rustic tannins of 2022 with luminous fruit, floral tones and a hint of orange peel, vermouth-like. Distinctive and energetic, it is a wine with personality.

The red that stands out in the 2022 range is the 2022 Els Escurçons, a pale, fragrant and delicate expression of Mediterranean Garnacha. It's textured and has a fine thread and chalky tannins. It keeps the pale, perfumed, ethereal, vibrant and clean profile of the 2021 with a little more ripeness but surprisingly low alcohol (13.5%). It was produced partly with carbonic maceration, all aged in clay amphorae for a few months and later in glass demijohn until they achieve the tension they are looking for. It's elegant and unique, very different from the majority of Priorat reds. To me, the 2022 is more elegant than the 2023 that I also tasted. Superb!
