Reductive and a little decadent on the nose with some dried roses, ripe berries, wet earth and moss. Extremely bright and lively on the fleshy palate with lots of sap, succulent and fine, firm tannins. Meaty fruit with so much verve and purity. Long and broad finish. Drink or hold.

The 2021 Dits del Terra shows lower alcohol and more freshness, and it has an herbal note and feels very young and undeveloped. Like most of the 2021s, they shortened the time of aging, and it was completely in concrete and didn't touch any oak (they sold all the foudres). There's purity and precision, elegance and freshness. 4,098 bottles were filled in June 2022.

The 2021 Dits del Terra is 100% Cariñena from Priorat. A rare example of a light red from the warm southern-exposed slopes, it offers candied sour cherry aromas with faint hints of leaves and marmalade. Dry and rich yet vibrant on the palate, the nuanced flavors and fine-grained tannins add depth to its mild character. This red pivots on heightened acidity, providing a cleansing mouthfeel—a different wine style for Priorat. -- Joaquín Hidalgo
