2019 | Jordi Llorens | Atikete

Description:

The 2019 vintage delivered an extended growing season that produced intensely flavored, palate-staining red fruit, giving this wine vivid primary aromas and concentrated mid-palate expression. After harvest the wine spent one year in oak barrels and a further year in bottle before release, a maturation regime that softens tannins while adding glossy texture and supple mouthfeel.

This medium-bodied red comes from vines rooted in pure limestone soils, a mineral-rich foundation that reinforces freshness and terroir character. It is the only one of Jordi Llorens’s cuvées to be barrel-aged. Jordi farms fifteen hectares of very dry, low-yielding vineyards and produces some of the most delicate, refreshing, and terroir-driven wines in this region of Spain.

Bright, palate-staining red fruit layered with fine oak-derived spice and a polished, silky finish. Ideal with grilled lamb, roasted vegetables, or aged cheeses.
