So, trying Spanish wine need not take you to just the cheap end of imports! Here is a master wine equivalent rating to DOCG in Italy of a wine that displays all the Old world quality and winemaking skills with a luscious Grenache blend.
50% garnacha negra
50% cariñena
All the grapes used are from vineyards situated in mountains 150-400m above sea level. It is from the highest of these peaks (Morlanda) that these wines take their name. Fermentation is carried out using a traditional method of maceration and pumping over. The wine is then bottled and stored for a further six months until fully matured.
Morlanda is produced by Viticultors del Priorat, whose winery is located in Bellmunt del Priorat (Tarragona) and falls under the Priorat Appellation of Origin. The property lies between hills, of which Morlanda is the highest and thus the name of the wine. The winery was founded in 1997 and is located on a 72-hectare estate, 22 of which are vineyards.
Some of the vineyards are located on slopes and others are located on flatter terrain at altitudes of 190–220 metres above sea level. Most Morlanda wines are produced from vines aged between 25 and 40 years old, though some are younger and others have only recently been planted.
