Plaer 2016 D.O.Q

Plaer means pleasure. We seek to express all the pleasure and identity of the unique Priorat area.

This wine comes from a selection of beautiful, exceptional old vineyards from 40 to 60 years old.

Vineyards are from different parts of the Priorat area: Bellmunt, Falset, , El Molar, , and , always based on licorella soil from 300 to 650 meters of altitude.

As the philosophy of RITME CELLER, this wine is based only on native, indigenous varieties, 60% Carinyena (Cariñena, samsó) and 40 % Garnatxa. Production of 10.000 bottles.

Grapes are hand harvested and selected in the vineyards and again in the cellar. The wine is aged 12 months in one year old French oak barrels.

Bottled in March 2018.

TASTING NOTES: Stephan Tanzer’s tasting note: Aged in used French oak barrels for one year): Bright violet color. A zesty mineral quality gives loft and focus to sexy aromas of candied flowers and red and dark berry preserves. The juicy, incisive and gently sweet palate offers black raspberry, floral pastille and a late touch of candied licorice. Fine-grained tannins rein in the exuberant fruit on the long and energetic finish. A powerful but finessed wine.
