Els Escurçons Mas Martinet 2019 is crafted from a 20-year-old vineyard in Priorat, featuring predominantly old Garnacha. The complex terroir of the vineyard consists of ferruginous decomposed llicorella slate on south- and southwest-facing terraces. Following the 2015 forest fire that impacted 10% of the vines, the vineyard has undergone notable changes in its expression. The 2019 vintage showcases a pronounced concentration with a modest alcohol level of 13.5%. The wine matures in glass demijohn and ceramic jars.

The 2019 Els Escurçons comes from a 20-year-old vineyard, a massal selection of old Garnacha from the village of Porrera on south- and southwest-facing terraces of ferruginous decomposed llicorella slate. In June 2015, 30 hectares of forest around the vineyard burned down, and 10% of the vines died. The vineyard expression has been coming back since 2016, but they feel it has changed, as the vegetation around it has disappeared. The first two vintages after the fire showed anger and stress, and in 2018, they noticed a change that seems to continue in 2019. But then 2019 was very unusual, incredibly concentrated but only 13.5% alcohol and surprisingly tannic. This is a wine that matures in glass demijohn and ceramic jars. Another unusual wine from an unusual harvest here. 3,800 bottles produced. - Luis Gutiérrez

Rich, ripe fruit that`s quite transparent and offers lots of refreshment even if not concentration. But just a little simple.(JR)
