Priorat La Coma d’en Romeu, Nin Ortiz 2019
Nin Ortiz
Nin-Ortiz is an esteemed estate nestled in Priorat, epitomizing simplicity and devotion to biodynamic principles in winemaking. Ester Nin and Carles Ortiz, renowned for their commitment to excellence and attention to detail, craft wines that captivate with their pristine fruit expression and minimal intervention. They embody the vanguard of Priorat's winemaking, championing freshness and indigenous grape varieties while staying true to regional authenticity.
La Coma d’en Romeu is a 1.5ha amphitheatre of 80yo+ vines at 350m on a south-facing slope, a sun trap surrounded by forest. The plot, interspersed with almond, fig, hazelnut, olive, and fruit trees is a haven of biodiversity – a special place, quintessentially Mediterranean with a distinct vibration. Each spring, the blooming trees fill the air with intoxicating aroma, echoes of which appear in the wine. The llicorella soil in this paraje (extremely compressed and silica-flecked) is one of the oldest within the DO, formed by tectonic movements 450 million years ago – compared with Finca Les Planetes, at 325 million years old, just one kilometre away. This geological contrast underlines the natural complexity of the region’s soils. First released with the 2015 vintage, this wine is made from 100% whole bunches; it is aged for 17 months in 600ltr barrels and Stockinger foudres.
This is perfumed, with wild Mediterranean herbs and flowers, alongside ripe peach flavours. A touch of earthiness and graphite notes add complexity, while the palate is multi-layered with a notable glycerol richness. A brooding wine with great energy that showcases a unique terroir.
