2009 looking promising in Priorat

We had a brief conversation with Magi from Mas Martinet this morning and it would seem that 2009 is showing promising signs in Priorat. Whilst of course it is too early to call - the next two weeks are crucial - Magi seems confident that the early ingredients are all in place. A recent spell of hot weather has given a real filip to the grapes' ripeness and natural alcohols are healthy to say the least. A drop of rain or two in the coming weeks are all he is looking for to make this into "a really lovely vintage".

Just Landed

Further arrivals into our warehouse this week include the Domaine Weinbach 2007's, Senorio de San Vicente's 2005 Rioja (recently voted the best wine in spain by Wine Enthusiast Magazine) and the 2006 , Decanter 5* award winner, from the ever popular Chateau Petit-Bocq in St Estèphe.
