Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2020 Vinyes Velles was produced with 76% Cariñena and 24% Garnacha that achieved good ripeness and 14.5% alcohol. It has abundant, slightly dusty tannins and an earthy profile with notes of graphite, wet slate and dark berry fruit mixed with aromatic Mediterranean herbs and a generous dose of sweet spices from the élevage of 16 months in 225-liter French oak barrels. The oak is still quite noticeable. Wait. 20,100 bottles and 400 magnums produced. It was bottled in June 2022.

Description
Ferrer Bobet Vinyes Velles is a red wine from the Priorat area made from the Cariñena and Garnacha Tinta varieties by the Ferrer Bobet winery of the Priorat DO.
The grapes are grown in centenary vines planted on slate soil, which contributes to the minerality and special character of the wine.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand and collected in 10-kilogram boxes. The grapes are sorted berry by berry on a double sorting table and filled into the tanks by gravity.
Once in the winery, the bunches go through another selection process. The grapes are then fermented in tanks with a capacity of between 15 and 30 hectolitres. The vats are of different types: wood, stainless steel and cement.
The wine is then aged for 15 months in fine-grained, medium-light toasted French oak barrels. Finally, before being released on the market, it rests for a minimum of 11 months in the bottle.
Taste
Ferrer Bobet Vinyes Velles is a red wine with fruity aromas, spicy and mineral notes. In the mouth it is voluminous with silky tannins and a long, persistent and very mineral finish.
A noble, succulent and complex red wine.
Ferrer Bobet Vinyes Velles is a red wine under the Priorat D.O. which highlights the qualities of the slate soils from which it originates.
It is a wine made with great respect for the terroir where the most natural techniques are applied and where only the necessary intervention is carried out, with great respect for nature, for the Priorat and for the land itself.
In the gastronomic field, this wine is especially recommended as an accompaniment to grilled red meats, stews, cured cheeses, roasts, duck, acorn-fed Iberian ham and game.
