Blai Ferré Just ‘Billo’ Single Vineyard Garnatxa blend 2020
Description
Description
This is as pure an expression of Priorat's amazing llicorella schist terroir as you are likely to see. Uncluttered by winemaking, and uncovered by oak, the soil rings out on the nose and sings through the palate. Everything is place (grape FX are in there somewhere, for sure): sweet blue-note licorice and smoke, cold and damp rock, balsam, boysenberry juice and flowers, a sparkly mineral ripple, really neat tannin carrying all along in an earthy gurgle. Billo loves air and although not closed or big when first uncorked, really opens out to a gentle country wine style of considerable charm and grace. Red and root vegetable fruit aromas in a gentle earthen nose with baking spice,multi- botanical balsam and a touch of anisey soot telling the llicorella. Down in the extreme south of Priorat, the Massos del Falset schist is a little earthier and less pungently mineral-smoky-tangy than say Gratallops. The palate has nice volume it's a generous mid-weight, but all sits nicely within the rim there are no extractive bulges or heat flares, just nicely rounded fruit with a herbal-mineral-inflected gentle acid frame and a soft, easy landing. Very pleasant earthen perfumes linger and fill the mouth after swallowing and the last thing left is the pippy purity of lovely sweet, beautifully ripe seeds of grapes. Billo ages 10 months in stainless steel, without any oak addition. It's 35% Garnatxa, 35% Syrah, 20% Samsó and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon.

Wines of Spain
With 2.9 million acres of land planted in wine grapes, Spain is the most widely planted wine producing nation and second largest producer in the world. Many styles of wine are produced in the country most of which are based on native grape varietals.
The two most famous regions are Rioja and Ribera del Duero for their Tempranillo production. Rioja Tempranillo (the classic) will be lighter and fresher with red fruit flavours as compared to those from Ribera del Duero that are often deep purple, higher in alcohol with more tannins and intense black fruit character. Rioja is also known for producing Garnacha (Grenache), as well as rich, nutty whites from the indigenous Viura varietal.
In the Catalonia region, Spain is recognized for making a sparkling wine in the traditional method but using native grape varieties. This is called Cava. Priorat, a subregion within Catalonia specializes in making still red blends of Garnacha, Carignan and often Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon in a bold and full-bodied style. Together with Rioja, wines from Priorat have achieved DOCa/DOQ status signifying their quality.
Sherry is Spain’s famous fortified wine which can either be completely dry, lusciously sweet or somewhere in between. This is made in the southern region of Jerez.
Other notable Spanish wine styles include: Monastrell (AKA. Mataro/Mourvèdre), produced in the Jumilla region and refreshing white Albariño and Verdejo from north western Galacia.
