Pissares is the flagship wine of Costers del Priorat.  Black tea, dark fruit, sweet + spiced mandarin orange, forest floor, blackberry, caramel, graphite, grey rock + stone on the nose.  On palate, bright + balanced blackberries, spiced black plum, and hints of spiced orange continue.  Blend of Samso (Carignan) and Garnatxa from slate soils, "Pizarra" means slate in Spanish, "Pissares" referring to the slate of the terroir that give the wine freshness and balance.
