Priorat
Creu Celta 2006
Tasting Notes
Creu Celta offers the full expression of classic Priorat
red. Rich, layered and concentrated it has pine,
chocolate, cherry, plum and currant notes.
This is underpinned by a typical smoky minerality from
aroma to palate.
The wine is fermented in both open top barrels and
stainless steel tanks and made mainly from old vines
Samso and Garnacha. Most vintages are aged in new
and one year old French barriques.
No pesticides or herbicides have been used at our
vineyard in Salanques, Poboleda, Priorat.
Food Match
Creu Celta is the perfect wine for all hearty red meat and
steak dishes due to the complexity of the tannin, acid and
fruit balance. It is equally suited to hard dry cheeses.
To maximise enjoyment decant before serving.
Quotes
"I very much prefer the 2006 to the 2005...a definitely superior wine, with better balance (the acid was less intrusive) and much better mid-palate, with more complexity and similarly smooth tannins. If the improvement from year to year is as much as between these two vintages, you're definitely going in the right direction, and it's a very exciting prospect. It's exciting anyway, and I really congratulate you on the decision to make a serious wine in a top appellation, rather than just churning out ordinary wine somewhere boring." (Charles Metcalfe 14.11.09.)
