Mas Simsó Sui Generis 2022

Bodega Mas Simsó is the only winery in Priorat that produces a wine from Syrah and Malbec. Simon and Sophie are rightly proud, because this wine was one of their experimental projects – and it turned out to be an immediate hit. The small vineyard, only 0.35 hectares in size, is managed with the greatest care. The vines are now 16 years old and thanks to a strict selection during the manual harvest, only 600 bottles are produced each year.

After a cold maceration of 48 days and a fermentation of 29 days with wild yeasts, the wine matures for 16 months in new French Allier oak barrels. In the nose you recognize aromas of blackberry, cherry and dried herbs. When tasting, the fruity and spicy character of the syrah clearly emerges, with the wood tones and the structured tannins in the aftertaste that make the balance perfect. This powerful wine also has a great storage potential. In its youth, it is advisable to decant the wine for about 30 minutes for optimal enjoyment. Cheers!
