2021 Nin-Ortiz, Priorat, Nit Nin Mas den Cacador
From 80-110 year-old vines at 650m of altitude, this is part of the original vineyard purchase by Ester Nin, to which she has added 2 hectares to her original 1.5. One of the highest-elevation sites in Priorat, the soils here are pure blue and black schist and the vineyard faces due North. There is Garnacha here as well as Carinyena, along with Garnatxa Peluda, or "Hairy Grenache", which has a lighter color than traditional Grenache, produces slightly less alcohol, and also has a markedly spicier flavor. Fermented with whole clusters and their native yeasts, this macerates for 4 weeks in vat with very little pumping over. The wine ages 16 months in a 2700L French oak foudre.
How Pre-Arrival Works
These wines are currently on the way to Thatcher’s Wine. We have sourced them from some of our clients' private cellars, our friends in Europe, direct from the domaine or through our other trusted networks. On each product you will note an estimated time of arrival. Understand that these are only estimates, and to ensure that your wine arrives safely it may be longer. Utilizing this method allows us to offer some amazing wines and gives you the opportunity to secure them earlier. Upon arrival at TWC you will receive a notification and we will ship the wines to you.
