L'Ermita 2020
HK$ 11,955.36
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
2020 was a low-yielding year because of mildew, so there are only 1,441 bottles of the 2020 L'Ermita, which reflects the variability in the old Garnacha vines. It was produced with a blend of 92% Garnacha, 7% Cariñena and 1% Garnacha Blanca, Macabeo and PX. The difference between this and the 2020 Les Aubaguetes is the finesse and subtleness of L'Ermita and the class and quality of the tannins. L'Ermita carries the category of Gran Vinya Classificada, the top of the official vineyard classification in Priorat.

Description
L'Ermita is a blend of red Garnacha and Cariñena, plus 2% of white grapes such as Garnacha blanca, Macabeo and Pedro ximénez.
This red wine has been produced by the renowned winemaker Álvaro Palacios at the Bodega Álvaro Palacios winery in the D.O.Q. Priorat in Gratallops. Priorat in Gratallops, Catalonia.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand at their optimum ripening point. On arrival at the winery they are destemmed and gently crushed. The varieties are vinified separately. Alcoholic fermentation is carried out in small wooden vats, applying movements to extract as much colour and fruit as possible.
Malolactic fermentation and subsequent ageing is carried out in new French oak barrels for a period of 18 months.
Taste
L'Ermita is a beautiful and mysterious red wine that offers citrus aromas with a floral delicacy and a subtle mineral touch. It is a spectacular round wine, with all the character and personality of Priorat.
On the palate it is velvety and flavoursome with a balanced acidity and the necessary freshness to lead us to a finish that seems endless. It is, in short, perfection made wine.
A masterpiece by winemaker Álvaro Palacios.
L'Ermita is one of Spain's best known red wines. A jewel in its own right.
A wine of indescribable elegance, sensuality and complexity. A great classic from Álvaro Palacios. It is very accessible and despite its complexity, it seduces and bewitches from the first sip.
With the passing of time and even after 25 years, the opened bottles still show a truly incredible flavour. It is undoubtedly a great wine for cellaring.
It is the perfect accompaniment to a lunch or dinner with roasted or grilled red meats and small game.
And you, have you already tried this exquisite and unbeatable red wine?
