Tobella Salt del Llop 2021

Tobella Salt del Llop 2021 is a characterful and authentic red wine from Priorat in northeastern Spain – an area known for its dramatic terraces, shale-rich soils (“llicorella”) and intense, mineral wines. The name Salt del Llop means “Wolf’s Leap” and refers to the wild and rugged landscape where the vineyards cling to the steep slopes at altitudes of 300–500 meters.

The wine is made from a classic Priorat blend of Garnacha (Grenache) and Cariñena (Carignan) , with small amounts of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon , which add depth and structure. The grapes are hand-harvested from old vines and carefully vinified to preserve the character and terroir of the area. It is then aged in French oak barrels for around 12 months.

In the glass, the wine has a deep ruby ​​red color with violet reflections. The nose is complex and inviting with notes of ripe dark berries such as blackberries, cherries and plums, accompanied by hints of licorice, cocoa, Mediterranean herbs, smoke and wet slate .

The palate is intense and well-balanced – full-bodied but with freshness from the fruit of the Garnacha and the tannin structure of the Cariñena. It has layers of dark fruit, spices, minerality and a subtle barrel note of vanilla and toasted oak. The finish is long, elegant and mineral , with an almost salty feel, typical of the Priorat terroir.
