The 2009 Gratavinum GV5 Magnum (1.5L) is one of Priorat\u2019s finest wines. Gratavinum is a small-scale family-run estate that cultivates old vines on the famous llicorella soils. The GV5 cuv\u00e9e combines Mediterranean power with refinement and a distinct mineral character. The Magnum bottle also ensures a slower and more harmonious aging process.<\/p>\n
The outstanding 2009 vintage yielded perfectly ripe grapes with impressive concentration and a beautiful balance. The blend of Garnacha, Cari\u00f1ena, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah results in a wine with deep fruit aromas, refined tannins, and an exceptionally long finish. Thanks to its slow maturation in Magnum bottles, this wine will continue to develop for many years to come.<\/p>\n
The wine opens with aromas of black cherries, blackberries, plums, Mediterranean herbs, graphite, cocoa, espresso, balsamic vinegar, and subtle woody notes. On the palate, it is rich and velvety smooth with ripe tannins, lively minerality, and an exceptionally long, elegant finish.<\/p>\n
Serve at 16\u201318\u00b0C and decant the wine one to two hours in advance. Delicious with grilled beef, lamb, game, Iberian pork, stews, and aged hard cheeses.<\/p>\n
Gratavinum is one of Priorat\u2019s top-quality producers and works with old vines grown on the region\u2019s characteristic llicorella soils. Limited production and meticulous winemaking result in wines with a distinct identity, great elegance, and impressive aging potential.<\/p>\n
