Description
Ritme red wine is an authentic expression of the DOQ Priorat, a renowned wine region in Spain. This red wine stands out for its composition of 55% Garnacha Negra and 45% Cariñena, indigenous varieties that reflect the identity and character of the area. The vineyards, between 20 and 40 years old, are located in different municipalities such as Poboleda, Porrera, Bellmunt, El Molar, El Lloar and Cornudella, at altitudes ranging from 300 to 650 metres above sea level. The predominant soil is llicorella (slate), a crucial factor that contributes to the uniqueness of the wine.
Winemaking
Ritme is made with a deep respect for the grapes, seeking to maximise varietal expression. Harvesting is done by hand, followed by maceration for approximately 15 days. Ageing takes place in lightly toasted French oak barrels for 10 months, a process that does not include filtering or fining in order to preserve the wine's purest identity.
Taste
Ritme offers a rich and complex sensory experience. It has an intense cherry colour, accompanied by aromas of red fruit and spices. The oak notes are well integrated, adding an extra layer of complexity. The palate is savoury and fruity, with ripe tannins providing a pleasant texture and a long finish. This flavour profile reflects the influence of the Priorat terroir, as well as the careful winemaking and ageing that characterise Ritme.
In short, Ritme is more than a wine; it is a celebration of tradition, terroir and Priorat identity, offering a unique experience for the wine aficionado and connoisseur alike.
