The productive service life of the grape is a calendar year. After the harvest, which runs from August through October depending on variety, the grapevine keeps on bringing down its biological activity until the spring, when it blooms again and the outbreaks that will stabilize during the summer are born.

The maturation affects the grain of grape in two different meanings: in the pulp, where the sugars responsible of the alcoholic degree are produced, but also in the leather and the seeds, which bring the necessary acid counterpoint. The thermal resistance that rules the Priorat, with important temperature differences between day and night balances both trends, provides strength and helps to describing with best accuracy the optimum moment of the vintage.

"La Ninota", an appeal blending of red color cherry, offers aromas of mature fruit with hints of alcohol and is intense and with character in the mouth.
