Familia Torres Priorat
Perpetual, DOQ Priorat
Perpetual is a wine born of time and terrain. Perpetual's Garnacha and Cariñena vines are between 80 and 100 years old and grow on steep, rocky slopes. Llicorella (slate) is the essence of this beautifully concentrated wine. The parcels that are hand selected for this bottling are small and located near several villages of El Priorat. Perpetual is a tribute to the well-aging Priorat wines, intense, full of character and born to defeat time.
The old Garnacha and Cariñena vines are between 80 and 100 years old and grow on steep, rocky slopes throughout Priorat. Vineyards are located at an elevation of 750 meters. Perpetual holds the "Vinyes Velles" classification which certifies all the vineyards were planted prior to 1945.

An elegant and harmonious red, displaying characteristics found in only the finest Cariñena and Garnacha blends. The combination of Priorat’s llicorella soil and temperate growing conditions yields a medium-bodied expression with highly approachable phenolic qualities. An exotic blend of ripe forest fruit, Mediterranean herbs, mineral nuances, and toasted holiday spice. An age-worthy wine that drinks beautifully today.

“Vibrant, almost glossy cherries with flowers and dark raspberries on the nose that extend to a juicy, lively palate. Full body. A hint of stones and game. Firm, dusty tannins melt into a long and precise finish. Juicy, tight and seamless.”
— Zekun Shuai, 2023
