The 2008 Reserva, a blend of 50% Garnacha, 25% Carinena and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, delivers a ripe, heady mixture of fresh prune, blackberry and blueberry fruit. The palate is full-bodied with toasty black fruit and touches of fresh date and brown sugar towards the sweet, but not cloying finish. Drink now-2017.
Rottlan Torra is a family-owned winery in the Torroja del Priorat municipality, whose maiden release was back in 1984. However, it was not until the mid-1990s that the winery really began to commercialize its wines at a higher level.
