Els Escurcons, Priorato, 2022
Heady wild floral polished translucent grenache fruit that is simply full of charm. There’s a real levity here, with notes of wildflower and coriander mingling with the sun warmed strawberry and grilled peach notes. Gently steadying tannins hold the wine in line, with a fine mineral note and touches of liquorice and caraway towards the finish.
critic reviews
The red that stands out in the 2022 range is the 2022 Els Escurcons, a pale, fragrant and delicate expression of Mediterranean Garnacha. It's textured and has a fine thread and chalky tannins. It keeps the pale, perfumed, ethereal, vibrant and clean profile of the 2021 with a little more ripeness but surprisingly low alcohol (13.5%). It was produced partly with carbonic maceration, all aged in clay amphorae for a few months and later in glass demijohn until they achieve the tension they are looking for. It's elegant and unique, very different from the majority of Priorat reds. To me, the 2022 is more elegant than the 2023 that I also tasted. Superb!
