With a commitment to organic farming and indigenous yeast fermentation, this wine combines tradition and modern finesse. It presents a vibrant, intense nose of dark berries with layers of slatey, stony freshness and a finely balanced touch of oak from its 16 months of aging in oak barrels and flexitank eggs. Concentrated and full-bodied yet refined, it reveals mineral complexity, ripe fruit, and an elegant, soft texture that leads to a long, fresh finish. Awarded 96 points by Decanter, it pairs beautifully with roast beef or game.Marc Ripoll returned to his family vineyards to change their fortunes.The family had been reduced to selling their harvests to the local co-operative, but he set about renovating the dilapidated winery and now Cal Batllet is regarded as one of the leading estates from their village of Gratallops. Marc is part of the new generation of winemakers in Priorat who are reclaiming the region for their own. Focusing on a style that puts the local terroir as its heart and looking to create wines of elegance and refinement, light years away from what made Priorat the darling of the American critics. An organic approach in the vineyard and use of wild yeast and barrel fermentation all come together to create wines expressive of the individual sites they come from. The 90 year old bush vines planted in steep hillsides on slate soil all create personalities of their own, none more so than the nearly extinct Escanyavella grape, which translates from Catalan as ‘old lady strangler’!Cal Batllet – Celler Ripoll Sans 5 Partides Gratallops Vi de La Vila 2016\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45132319162550,"sku":"40558","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/1251\/9862\/files\/calbatllet-cellerripollsans5pa_40558_01_860c6566_8f3ec582-6561-4dde-9645-8dbdb04efde5.jpg?v=1779128496","url":"https:\/\/noblebottle.com\/products\/calbatllet-cellerripollsans5partidesgratallopsvidelavila2016-40558","provider":"noblebottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
