Staff Pick Notes

Coma Alta is the “enfant terrible” of Mas d’en Gil and gives birth to a lively, savory, white wine. It is also the name of the vineyard plot, facing northeast and grown in the world famous licorella slate, located at the highest point of the Valle de la Coma in Priorat, Its a Grenache Blanc/Viognier blend that reminds me of fresh, raw, almonds, peach blossom and crushed wet stones. It is well structured, rich and big boned, has a very subtle side that viognier blends often fail to acheive. This wine is great with tempura, lemon-herb chicken and just about anything pork related. ,

Priorato

Priorat is the precocious new kid on the Spanish wine scene. Twenty years ago, this tiny Northwestern winemaking region was all but forgotten. Then, after a handful of winemaking mavericks moved into the area, Priorat began to produce some of the most powerful, complex, and expensive wines on the market. In 2003, Priorat was awarded the prestigious D.O.C. status - a term previously held only by Rioja - and prices and quality levels have continued to soar ever since. Garnacha (called...
