Bright, high acid, citrus driven. Phenomenal with delicate seafood preparations and fun to drink alone. Like, without other people. — 10 years ago

La Vinya del Vuit (Vuit is 8 in Spanish) is a project of 8 Priorat producers started many years ago and still woking together closely to produce an excellent Priorat based on mutual efforts. The 8 comprise amongst others Sara Pérez (Mas Martinet, Venus Universal), René Barbier (Clos Mogador), Ester Nin (Nit de Nin) and 5 other producers from Gratallops. The wine label changes with each vintage, and always takes a shape in some form of an 8. The wine comes from one vineyard shared by the 8 friends, called Coll de Falset, near Gratallops. The vineyard produces very low yields (between 8 and 10 vines are needed for each bottle of wine) and as a result a very concentrated wine, mostly made with Carinyena, although there are many Garnatxa grapes in the vineyard. Only 800 bottles were produced of the 2012 wine. The result is a remarkable Priorat, very concentrated, lots of dark red fruit, very balanced, with some earthiness and minerality. Fantastic! — a month ago

Some Cava, slight yeasty, apple, vanilla, caramel. Its brut, but honestly picking up some slight RS compared to the homeland of champagne. Regardless, love it, drinking outside with wife who loves all bubbles from around the planet... — 8 years ago

Really nice Cava. Has a gold-fruited textural richness that I wasn't anticipating, but still lots of acid. Excellent value. — 10 years ago

Very well balanced. Medium everything with great acidity. Maybe lacking in complexity a little bit. — 4 years ago

Goes great with chicken and waffles. Has a hint of something funky, like a cider; going to finish the rest with lobster for lunch. Received from Red and White Wines Chicago wine club. — 7 years ago
