Product description for Portal del Priorat El Mas de l’A., Tot-Ú 2021

Info

TOT-U is an expression of the various grape varieties and soil types at the Mas de l’A. Garnacha Peluda, Garnacha Gris, Garancha Blanca, Garnacha Negra, Trepat, Cariñena, and other varieties are found here. The soil types vary from clay to slate, limestone, and marl. The juices from various white and red wines, as well as the mash fermentations of various Grenache mutations, come together here. They are combined in steel tanks. After natural sedimentation in the tank, bottling takes at least eight months. Alfredo Arribas calls this wine the “enfant terribles” of fine wines.

Color

Bright cherry red with light reflections and slight cloudiness.

Nose

The nose reflects precisely this impression. Intense sour cherry fruit, grippy, and biting. Bright in its expression and peppered with plenty of smoky and wild aspects. The fruit takes on a smoky, almost bacony flavor. Juniper, black pepper, and allspice come together perfectly. Red and dark blossoms cast an elegant veil over it. This mysterious, slightly diffused impression suits it very well. Subtle nuances of raspberry and red currant further enhance the fruit.

Palate

These impressions continue very successfully on the palate. Cool and juicy. Crisp, bright cherry fruit dominates. With astringency, it is invigorating and stretches out beautifully. The spicy, smoky character remains very charming. The fruit also takes on further berry tones here. It benefits immensely from its lean appearance and cool mouthfeel.
