🍷 Merum Priorati – Inici
Spain | Catalonia | DOQ Priorat | Garnacha, Cariñena & Syrah
Style: Still Red Wine | Winemaking: Hand-harvested grapes from steep slate-laced vineyards (llicorella), fermented in stainless steel and aged in French oak for complexity and depth
Farming: From sustainably managed vineyards nestled in the rugged terrain of Priorat, where old vines thrive under the Spanish sun and mountain breezes

🔥 A bold and beautifully crafted Priorat—dark-fruited, spiced, and smouldering with Mediterranean soul.

👁 In the Glass:
Deep garnet with ruby edges—intense and brooding.

👃 On the Nose:
Aromas of black cherry, liquorice, and toasty oak leap from the glass, layered with hints of crushed rosemary, scorched earth, and sweet vanilla.

👅 On the Palate:
Opulent and poised. Ripe plum and black fruit roll across the tongue, framed by polished tannins and lifted by savoury notes of spice, leather, and wild herbs. Powerful yet refined, with great length and a mineral echo from Priorat’s iconic slate soils.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Ideal with chargrilled lamb, slow-cooked beef cheeks, or a hearty mushroom stew. A show-stopping match for Manchego or aged Spanish cheeses.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Can be enjoyed now, but will evolve gracefully over the next 5–7 years as its structure softens and complexity deepens.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Merum Priorati Inici captures the raw beauty of Priorat—intense, layered, and undeniably elegant. It’s a wine that speaks of the land, the altitude, and the ancient vines that define this revered Spanish terroir.
