In 2019, Les Terrasses was exceptionally high in Garnacha, the tendency in this cuvée. Cariñena suffered more from the mildew of 2020, and the final blend of the 2020 Les Terrasses Velles Vinyes was 72% Garnacha and 28% Cariñena, with 14.5% alcohol. It is gentle, honest and with typicity representing the wines from yesteryear but clean and harmonious, with nice balance and no oxidation or volatility, so an updated version of the traditional wines. 78,104 bottles, 2,000 magnums and 124 double magnums produced. It was bottled in May 2022.

Dark cherries, plums and racy berries, followed by tangy Mediterranean herbs, minerals and roasted spices. A medium-bodied Priorat with a good crunch of strawberries and roasted herbs. Flavorful, yet juicy and precise, with silky tannins and a linear, expressive berry finish. Lots of energy here. You want to drink this now, even though it will hold well for the next 5-8 years. Drink or hold.
