Wine recently bought from a private cellar. A very rare 19th-century bottle. Bottle in outstanding condition: maximum filling level, cork, color, capsule, label, no leakage. Check-out pictures! Fully mature and therefore drinking well now, or cellar for many many years. A wine to cellar for decades!!! This is not Solera Wine: 100% of the wine is from the vintage 1908. This extremely rare 117 years-old "Dry Rancio" was vinified with grapes owned by the former winery Miguel Llorens in Priorat wine region. Currently, the vineyard no longer exists. Just a few bottles of this "Garnacha Priorato" (Dry Rancio Wine) were bottled and served only on special occasions to the winemaker’s family and friends. Not much information about the wine is available. The wine was entirely vinified from the vintage 1908 and bottled in mid-'40s. Harvested from passerillé old-vine grapes, fermented with native yeasts, taking years to complete fermentation. Left outside in glass demijohns and very old barrels for years, subjecting them to a kind of “thermal shock” before being moved inside to age in stores that boast only passive temperature control. The barrels were not “topped-up” and no sulfur was added, occasionally allowing the rare barrel to develop flor. The wine concentrated by evaporation and levels of acidity and alcohol initially dipped and then slowly raised, enabling the wine to resist spoilage as it gradually oxidizes. *** All international parcels are shipped with the highest standards of quality: through the premium “UPS International Express”, the fastest service against signature provided by the courier.
