Dr. Mankini '20

Priorat is somewhat of a mecca of the wineworld. Thanks to its volcanic history, the Priorat landscape is rough with rocky ground, which offers many nutritions for growing grape vines, but is - well - a pain in the butt when it comes to harvesting grapes. That’s why Prioratians grow terrace shaped vineyards, you know, like tea in Indonesia. Our favourite Prioratian is Roger Grifoll Declara, our partner farmer who grows the garnacha grapes in our Dr. Mankini. He’s had experience in wineries all over the world and as if that didn’t make him the perfect partner already: he’s a dog person as well.

Garnacha - or like the French calls the grape, grenache - is a heavy red grape, which found its origins in Spain but is being grown nowadays pretty much everywhere. We get our garnacha from good ol’ Priorat because it's a classic, robust region which can help create some very powerful wines. This red wine is an ode to the terroir of Priorat.

Unlike any other garnacha made in this world, this garnacha started its journey in Europe's oldest ground - Priorat - and made its way into Europe’s newest winery.

Great for both Sunday brunches and Saturday lunches. Goes well with entrecôte or a medium grilled steak, slightly seasoned.
