Description
Perpetual is a blend of Garnacha and Carinena sourced from vines of 80- to 100-years-of-age, and sees some 18 months in new French oak. Expect a stylish wine crafted in a smooth and ripe style with aromas and flavours of smoke, herbs, tobacco and mocha-accented black fruit.
Tasting Notes
There are no more than 1,200 cases of this dramatic Priorat, produced exclusively from vineyards planted prior to 1945. Until recently it was made from purchased grapes alone, as Torres didn't own vines that old - although recent vineyard purchases have changed that. The blend of 80% Carinyena and 20% Garnatxa 'isn't a blend we have decided,' says Torres's Jordi Foraster, 'but what our forebears decided 80 years ago. The reality is that Carinyena is the main variety here as it was the more regular producer, but they also wanted some Garnatxa, so they planted it all together. It gives us a lot of work as we have to pick the Carinyena 10-15 days after the Garnatxa, plant by plant.' It's a dark though not opaque wine with complex scents of elderberry and damson with further notes of chestnut, dark chocolate and fine leather. On the palate it's intense, deep, pure and dramatic: a dagger of fruit, honed by acidity. It's limpid, pure and long, structurally lighter than many of its peers
