Priorat 2025 Vintage Report

Defining the 2025 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.

Summer turned up the intensity. With 18 days soaring above 35°C, the vines faced a stress test. Combined with a lack of rainfall (only 194mm total), this led to hydric stress that halted ripening in younger vines, though old vines with deep roots persevered.

Harvest proceeded under mixed skies, requiring agility to dodge the 58mm of rain that fell sporadically during the picking weeks.

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