Huellas is made with the fruit sourced from around the villages of Pobeleda and Porrera.

In 2004, to fulfil the thirst for understanding wine purchased with a long time friend and a small vineyard in the Priorat. The region was already reputed but with a huge spectrum of styles and qualities. As it was a tiny Project starting with 500 bottles we called it Huellas meaning fingerprints echoing the hand-craft labour involved.

Country of Origin:
DOCa Priorat, Spain

Type:
Red/Rouge (Still)

Grape Varieties:
60% Carinena, 40% Garnacha

Vinification:
The grapes are hand-picked from our low-yielding vineyard. Grapes are placed in a cold room for a day to handle them at cooler temperature thus enabling a natural cold maceration of the skin and the juice extracting gently some precious aromas. The fermentation takes place under controlled temperature.

Maturation:
12 months in 20% new French oak of 400L capacity and 80% in 2nd and 3rd year old barriques.

Tasting Notes:
Huellas is composed of Carinena, Garnacha from Priorat, with the balance Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah with the fruit sourced from around the villages of Pobeleda and Porrera. Bouquet of Asian spices, smoke, mineral, black cherry, and black plum leading to a high-toned, racy style of Priorat. The wine has plenty of sweet fruit, excellent volume, and a lengthy, pure finish. It will be at its best from 2013 to 2021.
