    Priorat

    Buil & Giné "Giné Giné" Priorat Tinto '21

    Buil & Giné is named for Xavi Buil’s grandfather, Joan Giné, who made wine and raised his son and grandson in these dramatic vineyards. The winery itself was established in 1998 in the heart of Priorat, Gratallops, among the steep, slate-strewn slopes that the region is famous for. That slate soil is called llicorella, composed of schistose mica and quartzite, allowing roots to stretch deep to find water. It has a reflective black-red surface that radiates heat back to the vines. Yields are very low, leading to incredibly concentrated wines.
     
    Many of the vines here are more than 45 years old and are a stone’s throw from the well-known L’Ermita vineyards, sharing much of the same terroir. From the beginning, Buil & Giné’s wines have been produced with the goal that its offerings should be classic yet approachable in style and price. To that end, the wines show more restraint and balance than others that are comparable prices.
     
    “Giné Giné” is a blend of half Grenache and half Carignan, both grown in llicorella soil. The fruit comes from vineyards located in different areas: Bellmunt, Gratallops, La Vilella Baixa, El Molar, La Vilella Alta, El Lloar, and Torroja. Approximately half the vineyards are between 20 and 30 years old, and the other half consist of old vines on slopes. Each variety is fermented separately, in stainless steel without added yeasts, then completes malolactic conversion in barrels. The wine is then blended and returned to stainless steel for aging.

    It’s hard to find a wine that captures the essence of Priorat better than this one. On the nose, notes of blackberry jam and blackcurrant are balanced with aromas of savory herbs, mint, anise, and sweet spices, adding layers of complexity and building up the long finish. Try it with dishes that will match its tannins—hearty stews and braised beef or pork dishes.
