Located in eastern Priorat around the pretty village of Porrera, this in one of the wildest, most rugged terrains, where few vines thrive and those that do produce less than 1 kg of grapes per vine. In these radical conditions 5 grape varieties thrive on the Merum estate: Garnacha, Carinena, Syrah, Cabernet and Merlot.
A project founded in 2004 by two Catalan familes, the winemaking side is overseen by oenologist Don Lewis (an Australian whose experience in Spain spans 2 decades) and his collaborator Narelle King. Impeccably made but not ‘over polished’, these are truly handmade wines
Merum Ardiles Priorat
£19.50
This 2007 wine is deep and moody yet captures a brightness and elegance remarkable for such a powerful wine. Sweet mulberry fruit is surrounded by herbal notes of thyme and fennel and underpinned with a hint of vanilla. Very ripe, fine tannins allow the sweet, juicy fruit to dominate but with the seriousness of leather, tobacco and coffee notes adding complexity.
