Origin and D.O.

Ferrer Bobet Vinyes Velles 2020 is made from grapes grown on steep slopes and slate terraces, featuring Priorat's characteristic llicorella soils. The landscape, steep slopes, and mineral nature of these soils are essential elements in shaping the wine's personality.

The vineyards' location in one of the highest and coolest areas of Priorat encourages slow, gradual ripening and helps preserve freshness, aromas, and acidity.

Grape varieties

72% Carignan · 28% Grenache. The official technical sheet for the 2020 vintage confirms this blend, with Carignan clearly taking the lead. The result combines ripe fruit, freshness, structure, and minerality, with an elegant and profound profile that reflects the distinctive character of Priorat's slate soils.

Winemaking and aging

The grapes are harvested by hand into small 10 kg crates. At the winery, they undergo a rigorous double sorting-table selection, where the berries are carefully selected before being transferred to the tanks by gravity. Fermentation takes place in small 15 and 30 hl wooden and stainless-steel tanks, allowing the different vineyard plots to be vinified separately.

Following malolactic fermentation, Ferrer Bobet Vinyes Velles 2020 is aged for 15 months in fine-grained, lightly toasted French oak barrels. It is then bottled without fining or filtration and undergoes a minimum of 18 months of bottle aging before release.

Winery profile

Ferrer Bobet was founded in 2002 through the collaboration of Sergi Ferrer-Salat and Raül Bobet, brought together by their passion for wine and the extraordinary potential of Priorat's vineyards. The winery's philosophy is rooted in meticulous, respectful viticulture, complemented by precision winemaking. The winery was designed to operate entirely by gravity, from grape reception through to bottling, reducing unnecessary handling.

About the Winery

Ferrer Bobet was founded in 2002, born from Sergi Ferrer-Salat and Raül Bobet’s shared passion for the world of wine and the extraordinary landscape of Priorat.

Its philosophy is based on a simple conviction: only respectful and exceptionally meticulous viticulture can produce fruit capable of faithfully expressing its origin. The project works with vineyards planted on steep slopes and *llicorella* terraces, in a landscape where viticulture demands precision and a significant amount of manual work.

The same philosophy continues in the winery. The grapes are harvested into small crates, undergo rigorous berry-by-berry selection, and move through the winery by gravity. The different vineyard plots can be vinified separately in small tanks before undergoing extended aging in French oak.

Both Ferrer Bobet Vinyes Velles and Ferrer Bobet Vinyes Velles Selecció Especial seek to convey the winery’s respect for Priorat in every glass, expressing its identity through elegance, freshness, harmony, purity, and a profound mineral character.

What flavor awaits me?

Appearance:
Deep, bright cherry-red color, with excellent visual concentration and lively highlights.

Nose:
Expressive and complex, with ripe red and black fruits, cherry and blackberry, accompanied by spices, aromatic herbs, and delicate floral notes. Hints of licorice also emerge, together with a distinctive stony, mineral character.

Palate:
Fresh and enveloping on the entry. Silky in texture, with concentrated fruit and fine, well-integrated tannins. The structure of the Carignan is balanced by the fruit-driven expression of the Grenache, while vibrant acidity adds tension and freshness.
