About this wine

Maçanella is a relatively new cuvée built on old-vine Garnatxa from steep slate slopes, organically and biodynamically farmed. The wine is intense and brooding, with dark cherry and plum, blackcurrant, violet and Mediterranean herbs, wrapped in fine but abundant tannins and a strong, ferrous, slatey minerality. 2023 (stylistically in line with the 2021/2022 releases) is powerful yet balanced, needing time in bottle to fully resolve.

Tasting Note

Concentrated nose of dark berries, cherries, liquorice and garrigue; full-bodied and structured on the palate, with dense fruit, firm but polished tannins and a very long, mineral, slightly smoky finish.

In the glass

Opaque ruby-purple.

In the nose

Black cherry, cassis, violet, liquorice, rosemary and hot stones.

On the palate

Dense and powerful; layered dark fruit and spice over muscular but refined tannins and a long, slate-driven finish.

Mas d’en Gil

Mas d’en Gil is a historic estate in the heart of Priorat, combining old-vine Garnacha and Carinyena with Mediterranean herbs and llicorella (slate) soils. Their wines balance the region’s natural richness with freshness and minerality, moving away from heaviness toward depth, finesse and length. Expect dark fruit, spice and a clear sense of place.
