PRIORAT
THE TRIO INFERNAL is a project
born in the priorat in 2002 on the initiative of three renowned vintners of the
french Rhone Valley.It is based on twenty year friendship and the desire to
create a common project in a new viticultural region known for having the
potential to grow great wines.
The
vintners are Laurent Combier (Domaine Combier, Crozes Hermitage), Peter Fisher
(Chateau Revelette, Aix en Provence) and Jean-Michel Gerin (Domaine Gerin,
Cote-Roite).
Fascinated
by this region, they decided to settle in the heart of this valley, in Torroja
del Priorat.
The
mirror
The
priority of all great wine is to express in the bottle the climate, the soil
and the viticultural practices...
The
unique COMPOSITION of slate and clays rich in iron oxide bring the wines their
typical concentration, yet elegant and fresh.
The
influence of the nearby Mediterrannean combined with the coolness of the
surrounding Montsaut mountains create a microCLIMATE with cool nights and hot
days.
The
Garnatxa and the Carinyena are the traditional VARIETIES that have stood for
the typical expression of that wines for centuries. A small percentage of Syah
has been planted as well. The 18 ha of vineyards are between 300 and 500m
altitude.
The
metamorphosi
They
are homemade wines whose only goal is to give the wines the purest expression
flavour around the triangle “concentration”, “elegance”
and “freshness” without losing the original fruit.
The
fruit
The fruits
of our work claim to be the personality of this area seized in glass.
