Pinord +7 Priorat
This wine has just won a major award for the best Spanish red and its easy to see why.
The + 7 wine is a beautiful rich mouthful with masses of scented herbs and a huge long finish.
BODEGAS PINORD
The story of Bodegas Pinord started more than 150 years ago, when the Tetas family began to make wines on their estate in Penedes. They have now extended their family expertise to the heartland of Priorat, renowned for producing bespoke cult wines. Their Mas Blanc estate lies on steep slately slopes, where the grapes are organically grown and hand harvesting is obligatory. A variety of different grapes are grown here, all benefiting from the night and day temperature variances which allows them to achieve great complexity. The winery is kitted out with all of the newest vinification equipment along with 250 new French, American and Bulgarian oak barriques.
PRIORAT +7
Grapes: 50% Garnacha, 20% Syrah, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Note: Dark ruby red, dense blackfruit and chocolate on the nose, full bodied, well balanced and very silky with a long rich finish.
Serve: At room temperature with red meat, roasts or cheese.
