Tasting
by Jordi Ustrell
Like most cellars open to wine tourists in
Priorat, we host visitors who sometimes have doubts about the way of
tasting wines, whether they should be somehow prepared for a tasting or not. We’ve been reading the
recent post by Campbell Bevan about top five tips for a wine tasting. We enjoyed reading it due to its slick and easy style, so that anyone from beginner to expert can understand it. We decided to borrow the outline of the post and provide it with another body, you know, Priorat-wine full body. We squeezed the five tips into four and added another one of our own consideration.
1. Can I eat before a wine tasting? – Don’t go to taste wines on an empty stomach
In fact, Priorat and the Ebro Lands are close neighbours. Just get behind the wheel and drive from the Ebro River's dynamic waters and prolific gardens, so in 20-30 minutes you'll land in a rugged area of vineyard slopes and terraces. And vice versa.
So, on 5-6 December, during the Puríssima long weekend, there'll be a place to discover our wines in a very scenic village of Tivissa, located in the Ribera d'Ebre county.
Since the Guía Peñín 2016 wine book is out, we're happy to share with you the evaluations that our 5 wines obtained in this wine reference book.
Our two jewels in the crown have been very well rated.
