Merum Priorati Destí

The grapes come from the estate’s vineyards near Porrera, where barren Llicorella slate soils force the vines to develop deep roots. After hand-harvesting into 20-kg crates, destemming and three weeks of skin maceration in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks, the wine matures for 18 months in 500-litre barrels, partly new, followed by a further six months in bottle. The 2022 vintage was dry, healthy, low-yielding and concentrated. In the glass, it reveals red fruit, minerality, menthol and liquorice; on the palate it is round and creamy, with fresh fruit, fine tannins and a long, elegant finish. The wine is neither filtered nor fined. ([pereventuragroup.com](https://pereventuragroup.com/content/uploads/2025/02/Desti2022_ENG-2_compressed.pdf?utm_source=openai))
