4. Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the licorella soil in Cerro Brujo special?
Licorella is a red and black slate characteristic of the Priorat. This soil forces the roots to seek depth, granting the wine a ferrous minerality and an unmistakable vertical structure.
Why is 'extreme altitude' highlighted in this wine?
By coming from high-altitude vineyards, the wine preserves a much more vibrant natural acidity. This balances the power of the Garnacha and Cariñena, resulting in a fresher and more elegant Priorat.
