Vall Llach – Embruix Priorat – 2019

Blend of 32% Garnacha Tinta, 26% Syrah, 21% Merlot, 15% Cariñena, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon

Sourced from estate vines primarily 15- to 25-years-old, Vall Llach’s Embruix (pronounced Embroosh), means “bewitching” in Catalan and the name, along with the symbol of a full moon on the wine’s label, is testament to the winery’s interest in biodynamic winemaking. Fermented in stainless steel tanks with 17 days of fermentation at
77°F – 84°F. Including daily pigeage and gentle remontage and 12 days of post-fermentation maceration, followed by gentle pressing.  Smoky raspberry and blackcurrant fruit are rich on the palate and the finish is surprisingly soft.

Vall Llach

Celler Vall Llach was established at the beginning of the nineties by Enric Costa and Lluís Llach in Porrera, one of the nine villages which make up the wine appellation Priorat in the south of Catalonia. The wines made are: Vall Llach, Porrera, Idus, Aigua de Llum and Embruix. The first grapes were harvested in 1998 and were released as finished wines in 2000. From day one, Celler Vall Llach has based its work ethic on rigour, quality and the importance of the countryside where the winery’s vineyards are located.
