Garnacha Peluda Priorat DOQ 75 cl
The Garnacha Peluda Priorat DOQ by Hodgkinson - Peter’s Plot is a single-varietal red wine from the Priorat in Catalonia. 100% Garnacha Peluda, ageing for 24 months in French barriques and the origin on the slate soils of the Priorat combine ripe black fruit, chocolate, liquorice, vanilla and a supple structure into a characterful Spanish red wine.
Producer: Hodgkinson
The Priorat is Catalonia’s oldest wine region and today ranks among Spain’s flagship regions. The Hodgkinson family lives viticulture with great dedication, which begins in the vines, as only the finest grapes can produce great wines. Due to the steep terraces, cultivation in this region is still genuine handwork. One of the region’s great treasures are the unique slate soils – known as Llicorella. The plots are planted predominantly with the resilient Garnacha grape, Cariñena and the extremely rare Garnacha Peluda, a mutation of Garnacha Tinta.
Owing to the low rainfall and the poor soils, yields are moderate yet of high quality and with pronounced aromatic density. These conditions shape the red wines of the Priorat with concentration, mineral depth and characterful structure.
