The steep slate-covered slopes of Priorat are among the greatest, most underrated terroirs in the wine world. Building on the foundation that the land provides, Rocafosca represents a significant step on the path towards communicating the best attributes of the Priorat personality: balance and elegance.
Jose Mas Barberá and his Costers del Priorat are a leading voice in the evolution of the wines of Priorat, producing distinctive wines rooted in the terroir of the Catalan countryside. The wines of Costers del Priorat emphasize nuance over power, a philosophical departure from the strong, tannic wines that once defined the region. As Jose Mas is working towards his Masters of Wine diploma, he finds inspiration for his Priorats in the Nebbiolo wines of Italy’s Piemonte region (also underrated until recently), as he has learned from the best in that region.
Their Rocafosca is a super-selection, or premier cru, of the very best selection of the vintage from four villages. Vineyards for Rocafosca include: Mas Alsera (in Torroja del Priorat), Aubagues, Bancalets and Sant Martí (in Bellmunt del Priorat), Planets (in La Vilella Baixa), and Colls de Porrera (in Masos de Falset). All of the vineyards were planted between 1939 to 1970 in the traditional goblet trellising.
The resulting wine is incredibly aromatic and deeply-satisfying, a symphony of flavor born of Priorat’s diverse orientations and microclimates. The glass is filled with freshness, nature, and all the mineral and botanical allure of the Priorat hillsides. Rocafosca is truly a masterclass in the transmission of terroir into the glass.
