WINE DESCRIPTION
Vinícola del Priorat Ònix Clàssic is an authentic expression of the DOQ Priorat, made from old-vine Garnacha and Carignan sourced from terraced vineyards up to 50 years old in the villages of Gratallops, El Lloar, La Vilella Baixa, and La Vilella Alta. The wine is crafted through hand-harvesting and stainless-steel fermentation, preserving the purity of its fruit flavors.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Ònix Clàssic 2022 showcases a vibrant purple color and a pronounced aroma of sweet black cherry, plum, and a hint of spice.Medium-bodied, it offers structured, firm tannins, a balanced warmth, and moderate acidity. On the palate, the fruit flavors evolve with a touch of honeyed richness, combined with a pleasant mineral and spicy undertone. Enjoy now for its fresh intensity, though it promises added complexity over the next two years.
