2018 Black Slate Wine from Porrera Region

Black Slate’s Porrera Red Wine 2018 offers an authentic taste of Priorat’s rugged terroir, crafted by winemaker Joan Sangenís using grapes from his esteemed vineyards. Hailing from Spain’s renowned Priorat region, this bold red blend combines Garnatxa Negra’s vibrant fruitiness with Carinyena’s structured depth and a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon for complexity—a harmonious marriage of tradition and innovation.

Sangenís’ decades-long expertise shine through in this meticulously sourced wine. The Garnatxa and Carinyena vines average 20–30 years old, rooted in Priorat’s iconic slate soils like those of the celebrated Mas d’En Caçador vineyard. Aged for 12 months in neutral oak barrels, this wine retains pure varietal character while gaining elegance—a perfect balance for those seeking intense flavor without overpowering oak notes.

With a rich palate of dark berries, smoky spice, and mineral undertones complemented by its 15% alcohol content, this Priorat red delivers a full-bodied experience ideal for pairing with hearty dishes like grilled meats or robust stews. Its long aging potential makes it a standout choice for collectors or casual enthusiasts alike who appreciate wines that reflect their origin’s unique intensity.

Black Slate Porrera stands apart through its focus on site-specific Priorat grapes and minimal intervention winemaking—a contrast to more oaky blends from the region. Whether you’re hosting a special occasion or exploring Spain’s premium wines, this bottle combines power and finesse for memorable enjoyment.
