MERITXELL PALLEJÀ NITA
Nita by Meritxell Palleja is a fantastic expression of the Priorat region and a wine which we instantly fell in love with. Unlike a lot of Priorat wines it is both soft, generous, and warming in the mouth without being over extracted or overwhelmed with oak flavours. The wine is a blend of 45% Grenache, 35% Carignan, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Syrah which is fermented in a combination of stainless steel and cement tanks. It has gorgeous dark red fruit flavours, bramble fruit and beautiful spice notes. It is fresh on the finish and a wine than has been made with a lot of love and care.
