Is there magic in this wine? At least, that's what its name suggests: Embruix in Catalan means bewitchment... It is a great introduction to the wines of Vall Llach, one of the great references of Priorat. Notes of mocha, ripe fruit, cocoa, sweet spices and hot stone. The body is generous, ample, solar and smells of solar and rocky Catalonia!

Technique

Viticulture

Celler Vall Llach was founded in the early 1990s and the first harvest was in 1998. The estate has some very old vines and also sources grapes from the villages of Porrera and Torroja. Yields are very low (around 280 g/cep). This wine represents a total of 20,000 bt produced. The vines that produce Embruix are all young vines, except for the carignan.

Oenology

Fermentation in stainless steel tanks (destemmed and crushed grapes) with punching down for 14 days followed by a post-fermentation maceration of 12 days. Half of the wine undergoes maolactic fermentation in vats and half in barrels. Half of the wine is aged in vats and the other half in 225 and 300l barrels (2nd and 3rd wine wood) for 14 months.
