Ciurana
2018 Vintage
93 – Vinous: “This is a quintessential Priorat red.”
18/20 – Jancis Robinson: “A new, top, classic Priorat has been born.”
96 – Toronto Star: “This is a wine that doesn’t just taste of its place – it is its place. It erupts on the palate with rich, velvet fruit cloaking iron-fist intensity.”
2019 Vintage
91 – Vinous: “This is a savory Priorat red with a harmonious character.”
2021 Vintage
93 – Vinous: “A classic Priorat with a modern nod.”
A Priori
2018 Vintage
93 – Vinous: “It’s a Cariñena with a true Priorat heart.”
95 – Toronto Star: “This wine tastes primal, taking you back to a time and place you’ve never experienced but feels known. It’s pure Carignan and exudes a brooding, muted fragrance. The attack is intense – powerful and earthy, streaming in with much more than just fruit.”
2019 Vintage
92 – Vinous: “Dry and taut, it features reactive tannins and a juicy flow, leading to a rather compact finish.”
2021 Vintage
93 – Vinous: “…delivers structure and flavor in a ripe yet balanced style. A Cariñena with growth ahead..”
Cap Blanc
2019 Vintage
93 – Toronto Star: “it swirls in, beaming with intensity while a chiselled chalky texture underpins the fruit. Spiralling acidity winds through the honey butter and nut centre, keeping the wine lit and crisp. As the attack recedes, toasted meringue, then raw nut and finally chalk persists on the finish. “
2020 Vintage
91 – Vinous: “Dry and rich, its intense palate lingers on oak-derived flavors. This serious white reflects the challenges of the 2020 vintage.”
2021 Vintage
93 – Vinous: “Broad, taut and creamy, with fruit carrying through the finish, it is both complex and satisfying.”
centurion
2019 Vintage
94 – Vinous: “The 2019 Centurion is 100% Cariñena sourced from a vineyard planted in 1915 in Priorat. Fermented in barrel, this garnet wine reveals cherry and herbal hints, along with a deep, enticing pomegranate core. Caramel and oak notes lend additional complexity. Dry, rich and compact—characteristic of Priorat reds—the highly extracted and concentrated palate contrasts with a faintly loose flow. What a delicious red.“
2021 Vintage
94 – Vinous: “The 2021 Centurion from Poboleda, Priorat, is 100% Cariñena, fermented in an upright 500-liter oak barrel and aged in a once-used 225-liter barrique. Attractive and ripe in style, it presents field herbs, Mediterranean tones and black fruit—plum and blackberry. Juicy, firm and long, it is compact and flavorful with impact and concentration, yet flows smoothly across the palate.“
