Frares Joven 2019 | Rojo

A good introductory example of a DOQ Priorat blend from old vine Garnacha, together with younger Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cariñena and Merlot vines aged in oak for three months. The wine is powerful, deep ruby in colour with aromas and flavours of ripe black plums, blackberries, dark cherries, thyme, with cedar and vanilla. Well-blended with nice acidity, good tannins, with an extended finish.

Perfect Pairing: Best with braised beef dishes, stews, lamb, duck, and other meat and game dishes that need a powerful wine. A strong “curado” goat or sheep cheese, and a blue cheese would also pair well.
