TORRES
Salmos 2016

Although, Priorat is in Catalonia, as is the headquarters of the Torres estate, Miguel Torres believed in this wine region so much that he was prepared to start a new winery here. In 2016, it was the wettest winter and spring of the last five years, which were followed by one of the driest summers of all time. Although, flowering started later than usual, the raw material ripened beautifully, while the acids remained exceptionally nice. It’s a Cariñena, Garnacha and Syrah blend, made with 14 months of ageing in French barrels. Deep, intense aromas with ripe fruits. Substantial, rich palate, round tannins, refreshing acidity. Sweet spices, prune, blackberry and other black berry fruits on the palate, with a long finish.
