Information about the wine

Lo Noir is a cuvée with Garnacha as the main grape and a smaller proportion of Pinot Noir. That the cool-climate grape Pinot Noir thrives in the Mediterranean wine-growing region of Priorat may seem surprising at first glance. This is likely due to the altitude of the El Mas de l’A wine project, founded in 2018. Its finca and vineyards are located directly at the foot of the Montsant Mountains in the higher and cooler part of Priorat. The zone also has limestone soils on which the grapes for this wine grow. The winery cultivates the vineyards biodynamically, and the red wine was aged in large wooden vats.

Colour

Cherry red

Nose

The bouquet is stimulating and distinctive. The wine smells of fresh red berries and has hints of earthy minerality. Overall, the nose is precise, lively, and seductive.

Palate

Lo Noir boasts silky-smooth tannins and a juicy, delicately spicy, and elegant character. The wine possesses first-class balance and tension. While this well-structured wine is no lightweight, it is lighter than many other red wines from Priorat. Lo Noir exudes lean power, and the juicy, mineral freshness on the finish begs for the next sip. Drinking pleasure and refinement go hand in hand in this wine. Fantastic, stimulating, and unusual.
