Vinification of the Terroir Al Limit Les Tosses Priorat The foundation for the balanced Les Tosses Priorat from Catalonia is grapes from the Cariñena variety. In Catalonia, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow in slate soils. The ripening of the harvested grapes for this Cariñena wine is significantly influenced by the climate of the growing region. In Catalonia, the grapes thrive in a warm climate, which is reflected in particularly well-ripened grapes and a rather high must weight. When the perfect physiological ripeness is ensured, the grapes for the Les Tosses Priorat are harvested exclusively by hand, without the use of coarse and minimally selective machines. After harvesting, the grapes are quickly taken to the pressing house. Here, they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation takes place in large wood at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, the elegant Les Tosses Priorat is aged for several months in oak barrels. Food Recommendation for the Terroir Al Limit Les Tosses Priorat Enjoy this red wine from Spain ideally at a temperature of 15 - 18°C as a pairing with spicy lamb curry, veal and onion casserole, or Thai cucumber salad.
