Descripción
Cada copa de Les Terrases es un viaje en el paladar por el escarpado paisaje del Priorat, pues se compone de uvas procedentes de nada menos que nueve términos municipales de la DO: Gratallops: La Vilella Baixa, Bellmunt, El Lloar, El Molar, Porrera, Scala Dei, Torroja y Poboleda. Es un vino con un perfecto equilibrio y una excelente expresividad en nariz. Un reflejo fiel del Priorat más histórico con una gran relación calidad/precio.

Opinión de los críticos
"The 2013 Les Terrasses Velles Vinyes, from a rainy year and a late harvest that resulted in perfect ripeness and low yields, is a blend of 55% Garnacha and 45% Cariñena. You might find labels and literature referring Cariñena to as Samsó, something that is wrong and creates confusion since Samsó is the Catalan name for Cinsault. The grapes are sourced from different villages (Gratallops, La Vilella Baixa, Bellmunt, El Lloar, El Molar, Porrera, Scala Dei, Torroja and Poboleda) all of them grown on schist llicorella soils, fermented in a combination of oak and cement vats with natural yeasts and matured in barrique for one year. It has a meaty nose with aromas that transported me to the Northern Rhône, showing smoky bacon intermixed with violets and really well-integrated oak resulting in a very fine and elegant impression. It seems more refined than other vintages of Les Terrasses, lighter and more elegant with none of the volatility or oak of yesteryear. It is really fine, polished and is without edges. Somehow within the Atlantic vintage you can see the Mediterranean character. Awesome Terrasses and good value for Priorat. 95,500 bottles produced".

Como siempre
Cada añada de este vino me gusta más. Lo malo es que el precio escala a mayor velocidad aún.
