It was only natural that in 2001, after a successful career as an architect, he started his journey in the magical world of wine, after acquiring the Clos del Portal estate, in Priorat, near the villages El Lloar and Bellmunt. During the course of the years, he developed a passion to recover a bunch of pre-phylloxera grapevines – Trossos – in the neighboring Montsant appellation, while recently he initiated Vins Nus, a project to recuperate vines of extreme altitude, and transform their grapes to natural wines of pure elegance and complexity. He works his Montsant and Priorat projects in tandem. Although both are farmed biodynamically, he does place different emphasis in each particular region. In Priorat, he makes Vina de Pagos (wines from a single place), while in Montsant has pieced together 12 vineyards of Carignan, Grenache Noir, Grenache Blanc and Grenache Gris. In the winery his goal is to have as little human intervention as possible, with short macerations, native yeast fermentations, and expressive oak barrel ageing that brings out the true character of the grapes year after year. Perfectionist and empirical at the same time, he associates elaboration to creativity.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2024-02-22T11:18:30-05:00","created_at":"2024-02-20T07:25:40-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_Spain","Other_Wine","Producer_Portal de Priorat","Region_Catalonia","RK170224","Source_VendorEmailWine0224","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Red Blend"],"price":59900,"price_min":59900,"price_max":59900,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44308590329994,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2012 | Portal de Priorat | Trossos Vells","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":59900,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/46_2171d81e-6cc4-415b-8ea1-5e93d8fbd395.png?v=1708432024"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/46_2171d81e-6cc4-415b-8ea1-5e93d8fbd395.png?v=1708432024","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2012 | Portal de Priorat | Trossos Vells at CaskCartel.com","id":26213384355978,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.346,"height":463,"width":160,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/46_2171d81e-6cc4-415b-8ea1-5e93d8fbd395.png?v=1708432024"},"aspect_ratio":0.346,"height":463,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/46_2171d81e-6cc4-415b-8ea1-5e93d8fbd395.png?v=1708432024","width":160}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2012 | Portal de Priorat | Trossos Vells\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBringing it to the nose, one is greeted by a bouquet of intense aromas of ripe plums and blackberries, interwoven with a sweetness reminiscent of liqueur, complemented by hints of spices and a smoky undertone from its time in oak barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp; Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROLLING STONE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMEN'S JOURNAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUS WEEKLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTICE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Many other small liquor store sites may end up cancelling your order due to the high demand, unavailability or inaccurate inventory counts.  We have partnerships consisting of a large network of licensed retailers from within the United States, Europe and across the world ensuring orders are fulfilled.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Portal de Priorat\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2012\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Red Blend\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\/Region:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Spain, Catalonia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetailed Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBringing it to the nose, one is greeted by a bouquet of intense aromas of ripe plums and blackberries, interwoven with a sweetness reminiscent of liqueur, complemented by hints of spices and a smoky undertone from its time in oak barrels.
