A chance encounter for us when Steve the winemaker walked into Pullo one day and asked if we would like to taste his wine and wow is it a stunner!
Priorat is a region that is too often becoming baked in high summer temperatures that make the grapes either scorched, parched or over-ripe at harvest. The wines from Els Bigotis are wonderfully fresh, balancing a good acidity with rounded tannins from a mixture of new and old oak ageing that means you would never realise it clocks in at 14.5%. Steve works his land by hand without tractors and uses a froends wine cellar for his production due to the small-scale nature of his operation.
Old vine garnacha with carinyana (carignan) and syrah. Rich with a pleasant use of new oak that will cellar well.
