Winemaker Notes

Embruix displays a ruby red color with a violet edge and deep, intense aromas of raspberry and blackberry, along with hints of licorice, graphite, spice, and fragrant herbs with over a dark mineral base. This red wine exhibits an enticing minerality, fine tannins and excellent acidity. Flavors of black fruit, mineral, garrigue, spice, and cocoa linger on the palate along with notes of balsamic, toast, and licorice.

Blend: 28% Merlot, 27% Grenache, 21% Carignan, 12% Syrah, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon

Professional Ratings

91Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The red 2022 Embruix was produced with 28% Merlot, 27% Garnacha, 21% Cariñena, 12% Syrah and 12% Cabernet Sauvignon from the younger vineyards. This represents the entry-level. It has notes of sweet spices and cocoa, with ripe fruit (it has 15% alcohol) but a low pH (3-1) and good acidity; so, it comes through as balanced and characterful, with very fine tannins and a velvety mouthfeel, with integrated oak. It matured in third- and fourth-use 300-liter barrels for 12 to 13 months.

91Vinous

The 2022 Embruix blends Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Cariñena and Garnatxa from the winery's young vineyards. The nose features ripe fruit aromas, with mild cherry and sour cherry notes. Dry and compact, it has reactive tannins and a taut mouthfeel, giving the wine an intense character. This is an accessible and affordable expression of Priorat.

91James Suckling

Aromas of blackberries, licorice and mocha. The palate is full-bodied with firmly framed tannins and balanced acidity, giving notes of plums, bark and bergamot. Robust and generous, with a slightly phenolic finish.
