After an intense harvest this year our winemaker, Antoni Sánchez-Ortiz, PhD, now turns his hand to a very enjoyable part of the winemaking process: the transformation of our wines. This is a slow, thoughtful stage requiring decision-making in terms of fermentation and aging in each of our oak barrels. This is the only way to ensure that each these can develop their individual maximum expression of the character of our terroir. Come and join us at the winery for a tasting in order to discover more about how this process is managed and taste the fruits of our labours. Your senses will be richly rewarded. Contact us on WhatsApp +34 679 212 855.

Our winemaker Antoni Sánchez-Ortiz, PhD recently participated in a semi-blind tasting organised by wine-and.com, an invaluable wine app. A very impressive selection of wines from diverse regions around the world were tasted, including Saperavi from Purcari Wineries Group in Moldova and TBILVINO in Georgia, a Nebbiolo from @Marchese D´Azeglio in Italy, our very own Pendents Carignan, Almaviva from Chile, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec from Cheval des Andes in Argentina, a Cabernet Sauvignon from Chateaux d´Issan in France, and the Cabernet franc from Arba in Kazakhstan. This diverse lineup showcased the incredible qualities and characteristics each region brings to its wines. Thanks to the WOW Porto for providing such a wonderful venue and Diego Ventura for making it possible. #perinetwinery #winelovers #wine-and.com

We recently finished pressing the Carinyena/Cariñena/Carignan grapes, the last produce of our harvest for this year. This late stage harvest is due to the intrinsic make up of the grape - it is a late budding and ripening grape, accumulating sugars slowly - and while location and exposure to the sun is another factor, it is still be one of last to be harvested. Cariñena adds colour, acidity and tannins to our wines (when used in a blend) and can also offer some notes of sweet spice as well. We invite you to visit the winery and see for yourselves how we make our wines so special, with a guided tour of the vineyard and a tasting of some of the fruits of our labour.

National Geographic Traveler is the world's most widely read travel magazine. The Spanish edition, National Geographic Viajes, recently highlighted the impressive Priorat region as well as the great importance of its high quality wines. We were honoured to be featured in this article (as one of the best wineries to visit), which talks about this historic wine region of Tarragona, known for its unique terroir ("llicorella") and spectacular landscapes, that also plays a key role in the world of quality wines. Come and visit and find out why National Geographic selected us for this article. #perinetwinery #winelovers #priorat #nationalgeographic https://lnkd.in/eKxv7keJ

On Saturday 14th September, as in previous years, Perinet took part in the "XXIV Festa del Vi i la Verema a l´Antiga" - the 24th Traditional Wine and Harvest Festival in our neighbouring village of Poboleda. This extremely authentic event has been growing in recognition and attendance and allowed so many avid wine lovers to taste some of our wines. The day started with the picking of grapes, stomping of these, a hearty breakfast for the participants and then the tastings of recent harvests from 30 local wineries. We made many new friends and followers. Come to the winery to see for yourself what makes our wines so special. #perinetwinery #winelovers #priorat

In the wonderful world of wine, there are grape varieties that can tantalise your senses with a symphony of different flavours, blending both sweetness as well as spiciness. Garnacha is one of these, and today we celebrate International Garnacha Day. Garnacha originated from Spain and is also known as Garnatxa in Catalan and Grenache in French. We recently participated in the Grenaches du Monde Competition and are delighted to share this video where Antoni Sánchez-Ortiz, PhD-ortiz talks about some of our Garnacha wines. Come and see for yourself what makes our wines so special. #perinetwinery #winelovere #priorat #internationalgrenacheday #grenachesdumonde

The magic of our Harvest Celebration day is fast approaching: Saturday 28th September. Firstly you will participate in picking the grapes from the vine and sorting for inspection, or "triage". As a traditional wine maker we do this by hand, followed by the crushing of the grapes or foot stomping. After this unique experience we will offer guests a traditional lunch on our winery's terrace, where local delights will be paired with our award wining wines. Don´t miss your chance to participate in this wonderful event. Book your place at [email protected] or message us on +34 679 212 855. #perinetwinery #winelovers #priorat #wineharvest

The decision as to when to start harvest is the biggest single decision we have to make in terms of wine quality. After much analysis - shared on previous posts - we have now started this process where we believe that we will hit the perfect level of Brix (the measure of the amount of dissolved solids in a liquid via its specific gravity: dissolved sugar) and acidity levels. In this video you can see our team picking Carinyena grapes from our Pendents vineyard in Porrera (400-470m above sea level with a northeast orientation), which represents the most dramatic slope of our estate, where the gradient exceeds 30º! Come and see what makes our wines are so special and why Decanter gave the 2018 Pendents vintage 97 points. #perinetwinery #winelovers #priorat #harvest
