Description
Mas d’en Gil’s liquid chocolate. This is our sweet wine made with Garnatxa Negra (Red Grenache). It offers notes of ripe fruit and a luxurious sweet palate. The finish contrasts with some acidity and freshness which invites one to have another glass.
Origins:
Nus is aimed at recovering the old Priorat tradition of making sweet red wines with Garnatxa Negra (Red Grenache). It is made with grapes sourced from five different vineyards on the estate and its name alludes to the fusion or “link” (“Nus”) between these five wines. The grapes are allowed to dry, some still on the vine and the great majority on straw mats in the sunshine. The wine was made for the first time in 1999 after eight years of trials until we reached this final blend.

It also goes well after dinner as guests linger at the table.

We recommend you serve this wine at around 12 °C in a Burgundy style wine glass, which allows you to first appreciate the nose and then the taste of this wine.
