Priorat

Defining the 2022 vintage in Priorat requires looking beyond the averages, as it was a year of contrasting fortunes and precise timing.

The cycle began with a harmonious flowering period. Warm days (avg 25°C) allowed for an even fruit set, establishing the potential for a generous crop. However, the threat of frost loom large, with 2 distinct cold snaps keeping vineyard managers on high alert during budbreak.

Summer turned up the intensity. With 12 days soaring above 35°C, the vines faced a stress test. Yet, thanks to sufficient water reserves, the canopy remained green, protecting the clusters from sunburn.

Harvest proceeded under mixed skies, requiring agility to dodge the 49mm of rain that fell sporadically during the picking weeks.

**Style:** Classically proportioned wines with good balance and terroir expression.
