Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Jay S Miller
The purple-colored 2006 Cami Pesseroles is 60% Garnacha and the balance the other permitted varietals of the DO. Earth, mineral, spice box, and black cherry aromas give way to a suave, structured wine with savory fruit, plenty of spice notes, and a lengthy finish. It will benefit from several more years in the bottle and will deliver optimum drinking from 2012 to 2026. Mas Martinet is owned by Jose Luis Perez, one of the original Priorat pioneers. The estate owns 10 hectares of vineyard planted in the famous llicorella Catalan soil. In 2006 the estate has added two new cuvees, Els Escurons and Cami Pesseroles, which are intended to show aspects of the terroir rather than to be special luxury wines.

About the Producer
We are always looking for new points of view, with a culture based on balance, sustainability and harmony with nature. We are committed to tradition, to the environment and to people. We recover some varieties and reinvent some processes and materials under the principles of agroecology and minimum intervention with the maximum respect for the people who work on it. We stand up for an ecofeminist and cross-cutting view of the world. We work the crops in an environmentally friendly way, being as respectful as possible with the processes. We grow leguminous plants, and we recover wild varieties of flowers and shrubs. We base on the lunar calendar in order to optimise the natural treatments that we use in the vineyard, such as compost and herbal infusions. Small gestures to obtain wines which are faithful to their plot by actively contributing to the balance of our farming systems
