2023 Tosalet "Old Vines", Priorat, Spain
ABOUT THIS WINE
The 2022 Tosalet Priorat Old Vines is a blend typically composed of roughly equal parts Garnacha (Grenache) and Cariñena (Carignan), all sourced from old bush vines perched on licorella (slate and quartzite) soils above 300–600 m elevation. The vines are decades old, low-yielding, and hand‑harvested to maximize concentration. After cold maceration, fermentation occurs in controlled stainless steel tanks, with malolactic conversion before bottling, capturing fruit purity with refined structure.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
The wine is made under the Tosalet label, a priorat-focused project of Hammeken Cellars, led by winemaking director Marcelo Morales. The estate honors Priorat’s heritage, using old vines (some up to 50+ years) across villages like Gratallops, La Vilella Alta, and Torroja del Priorat, all rooted in the region’s slate terroir and historical winemaking tradition dating back to medieval Carthusian monks at Scala Dei.
