D'iatra

2011 Priorat Carignan, Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah

Marc Ripoll Sans D'iatra is a captivating red wine from the esteemed Priorat region of Spain, showcasing a harmonious blend of Carignan, Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah. This 2011 vintage exudes elegance with its rich, deep ruby color, inviting you to explore its complex profile. The wine presents a broad and layered palate, with high acidity that provides a refreshing counterpoint to its pronounced fruit intensity. The firm tannins lend structure and depth, resulting in a well-balanced wine that is both approachable and impactful. It is undeniably dry, which allows the fruity notes of dark berries and plum to shine through, accented by hints of earthy spice and subtle herbal undertones. Enjoyable now, this wine also holds the potential for further development in the bottle, rewarding those who exercise a bit of patience with its evolving character.

While its reputation as a serious wine destination was eclipsed by France and Italy for many years, ignoring Spain today means missing out on some of the world's most exciting wines. Enjoying hundreds of miles of sun-kissed coastline and rocky interiors at higher elevations, Spain provides an ideal location for vineyards. Whether it is sparkling cavas from Catalonia, crisp Verdejos from Rueda, sublime Tempranillos from Ribera del Duero or inky Monastrells from Valencia, Spain has many wine styles to explore, all expressing the country's wildly unique terroir.
