Mas d'en Gil 2020 Priorat Vi de Vila Bellmunt

Vi de Vila is the village level Priorat from the Bellmunt sub-region. The vineyards are younger, planted in the 90s to Grenache, Syrah and a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon (blend for this red is 65% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 5% Cabernet). Aging is for 10 months in a combination of 3000L foudres and cement, and one year in bottle before release. Marta from Mas d'en Gil told us that this is one of the higher altitude vineyards in Bellmunt (and Priorat in general), which explains the high-toned and pretty side to this lovely red. 

From the Mas d'en Gil website: This wine is made with grapes harvested from the Vall del Bellmunt vineyard plots. These plots are mainly planted with Garnatxa (Grenache) and Carinyena (Carignan) grape varieties. It is classified as a “Vi de Vila” (“Village Wine”) which means it is a wine made by a winery located within the municipal boundaries of the village of Bellmunt del Priorat, using vineyard plots which are located within the aforementioned village.
