The 2022 Marco Abella Loidana is a wine that captures the soul of Priorat in a glass. Designed to showcase the purity and energy of the region, it brings together the estate’s highest vineyards in Porrera to create a wine that is both approachable and full of character. This is a superb entry point into the complexity of Priorat, offering freshness, balance, and charm.
Loidana stands out for its versatility and its ability to adapt to any occasion. Crafted from Carignan, Grenache and a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon, it delivers a vivid expression of red and black fruits, framed by floral and cedar notes. Aged in French oak, it has a soft texture, vibrant acidity, and a finish that leaves you reaching for another glass.
Winemaking:
The grapes for Loidana are harvested from Marco Abella’s seven mountain estates at altitudes of 500–750 metres. Each plot is vinified separately according to grape variety, soil type, and orientation, ensuring the fullest expression of its unique terroir. Fermentation takes place in concrete tanks to preserve freshness and fruit purity, followed by ageing in French oak barrels for 8–10 months. The result is a wine that balances concentration with elegance and a distinctive mineral backbone from Priorat’s llicorella soils.
Tasting Note:
Aromas of ripe strawberries, raspberries, and black fruit meet floral notes, cedar, and spice. On the palate it is smooth, fresh, and vibrant with a long, harmonious finish.
