WINE DESCRIPTION
Since 2003, the Nin-Ortiz family has crafted Mas d'en Caçador in Porrera, a prime Priorat location. Their nearly 100-year-old Carinena, Garnacha, and Garnacha Peluda vines thrive on steep, barren slate slopes. This north-facing, high-altitude site produces exceptional grapes. Mas d'en Caçador boasts immense density, concentration, and ripe fruit richness, with a flinty mineral essence and deep spiciness. On the palate, it continues with lush, ripe tannins and a complex symphony of black and red wild fruits, kept in balance by a touch of vegetation and firm tannins. A powerful, age-worthy wine showcasing Priorat's finest terroir.
