  • 37.5cl
✓ Available now

Gratavinum Dolç d'en Piqué has an intense, deep, ruby colour with purple hues. Great aromatic intensity and complexity on the nose, with rich, dried fruit aromas (prune, fig) balanced by a touch of toastiness from the oak. On the palate it is soft and velvety, intense flavours of dried fruits combine with vanilla and toasty notes from the barrels. Long, lingering and delightful on the finish.

The grapes were allowed to naturally overripen before they were harvested, and the sugars accrued during the heat of summer along with the concentration of flavours provided by the terroir allow Gratavinum to produce this excellent sweet red wine. The alcoholic fermentation was stopped to leave the residual sugars that provide the sweetness, smoothness and character to the wine, and the Gratavinum Dolç d'en Piqué was aged for 12 months in new 400 litre French oak barrels.

  • ❖ ABV: 16%

OUR GROWERS

Gratavinum

Gratavinum’s vineyards are located between Gratallops and Poboleda in the Priorat mountains. While it has been seventy years since Priorat has been recognised as a region of designated origin, winemaking in this rugged region stretches much further back. Old native vines of Carignan and Grenache thrive here as well as Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, which have adapted well to the harsh climate and compacted soil. All of their vineyards are cultivated organically, without pesticides or herbicides. They rely on natural sulfur dust to prevent powdery mildew, Bordeaux mixture to combat mildew, and Bacillus thurigensis to keep worm pests out of the vineyards. They do not use any irrigation, forcing the vines to find their own water. This encourages them to root as deeply as possible, enabling them to better withstand periods of drought while maximising the influence of the soil.
