Planetes de Nin Nin Ortiz 2022 showcases the precise craftsmanship of the Nin-Ortiz estate, nestled in the esteemed Priorat region. Crafted by Ester Nin and Carles Ortiz, this vintage reflects their unwavering adherence to biodynamic practices and showcases indigenous grape varieties. The fruit undergoes hand-harvesting, with vinification in neutral vessels to ensure clarity of expression. The wine matures in a combination of foudres and amphorae, promoting a gradual evolution of flavours. Rooted in traditional methods, this offering remains a testament to the estate’s focus on authenticity and accessibility in their winemaking ethos.
95 Robert Parker
The 2022 Planetes de Nin Clàssic, now from vines planted 25 years ago, was produced with a blend of 45% Garnacha, 44% Cariñena and 11% Garnacha Peluda, with a lot more Cariñena than the previous year, because the Garnacha yielded less fruit in 2022. It has a dark fruit profile and an earthy twist, with an iron-like twist from the very hard, rocky soils, but the wine opened up in the glass to a more floral nose, more refined. It has a medium-bodied palate with very fine tannins (finer as the vines age?) and balancing acidity. The wine has benefitted from the better conditions in the new winery. 12,500 bottles and 2,000 magnums were produced. It was bottled in April 2024 after aging in three well-seasoned oak vats.

Ethereal and energetic Garnatxas from Priorat

The winery was established in 2006 by winemaking couple Ester Nin and Carles Ortiz- two people in love with Priorat and biodynamic agriculture. prior to establishing the winery, Ester worked as a viticulturalist for esteemed Priorat wineries like Mas Martinet and Clos i Terrasses. She soon realised that she needed to start her own project, and so bought a 1.5ha parcel of old-vine (many over 100 years old) Garnatxa Negre, Peluda and Carinyena in Mas d’en Caçador– the famous vineyard between Porrera and Gratallops. on top of this, some of the vines are planted on altitudes of 650 metres above sea level, some of the highest in the whole region. Meanwhile, Carles Ortiz had relocated from the city of Barcelona to dedicate himself to grape-growing and purchased a 5ha plot called Finca Les Planetes. The pair met at Clos i Terrasses for whom Carles supplied grapes.

They farm using exclusively organic materials and adhering to biodynamic principles- spraying biodynamic infusions, application of own compost and much more. In the fields, ploughing is done by mules and the rest of the work - whether it is weeding or harvesting - is done by hand. Inside the cellar, the philosophy is to allow the terroir to speak for itself and produce wines of purity and lightness. Grapes are cooled after harvest and then transferred to neutral vessels like amphoras and demi-muids, where fermentation is allowed to occur with natural yeast. No aggressive cap manipulation is performed during fermentation to ensure the resulting wines are elegant and balanced.
