The Story
In 2004, to fulfil my thirst for understanding wine I purchased with a long time friend 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.
Origin
Poboleda: coolest sites of Priorat on pure schist.
Vines: between 25 and 100 years old.
Grape varities
60% Cariñena, 40% Garnacha
Technical data
Alcohol level: 15%
Total acidity: 5,70g/l
PH: 3,22
Vinification
The grapes are certified organic and all hand-picked from our low-yielding vineyard. The grapes are handled with care, 100% gently de-stemmed and ferment under controlled temperature. Natural extraction takes place via a combination of pumping-over and pigeage.
Ageing
Takes place in 20% new French oak of 400L and 500L capacity and 80% in 2nd and 3rd year old barrels, for a total of one year in wood.
