Description

Eric Solomon, Bixente Ocafrain, and Philippe Cambie collaborate to create Black Slate La Vilella Alta by selecting Garnacha and Carinyena grown on both licorella and clay-limestone soils. A blend of old and young-vine fruit and small additions of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, La Vilella Alta is a dense and intensively flavored wine fermented in tank and aged in French oak barrels, of which 30% are new.

Priorat, located in northeastern Spain, is celebrated for its powerful red wines made from Garnacha and Cariñena. The region’s steep, slate-soil vineyards and warm climate contribute to the richness and complexity of its wines. Priorat’s reds are known for their structure, depth, and rich flavors. The wines from this region are characterized by their boldness, balance, and vibrant fruit flavors. Priorat wines often exhibit flavors of dark fruit, licorice, and mineral notes, with firm tannins and a long finish.
