Hello, Last saturday we had a tasting of entry-level Priorat wines, mostly Garnacha-based, with varying blends of CabSauv and Carinena. Temperatures in Priorat are regularly 35+ centigrade in summer. Despite this, all of the wines tasted had a fairly marked acidity. Does anyone know if they regularly acidify in Priorat? Cheers

I would hope not, at those prices.... I think altitude, steep schist slopes and low yields would explain the good acidity, and of course the presence of Mr. Carignan himself.
Nils, I tried some white carignan recently in the hills high up behind Maury, interesting stuff with superb acidity for a southern white...
By entry level, do you have a price point for these? I seem to find the best in the $30-$40 range but am always looking for better value.
