4 Gotes

4 Gotes is a red wine made by the winery Alfredo Arribas in Bellmunt del Priorat (Tarragona), D.O.Q, Priorat.

Alfredo Arribas is a renown architect from Barcelona. In 2001, he decided to start a new career in the winemaking industry. Surrounded by a great team, the products he makes are constantly given the unanimous applause from the critique.

His winery, Clos del Portal is located between El Lloar and Bellmunt del Priorat. Currently, Alfredo Arribas produced wine with D.O. Montsant and D.O.Q Priorat, seeking to express in his wines the expression of the terroir, marked by the austere climate of the area.

The winery has 40 small plots, all of their own, of which 14 are vineyards. Half of them are planted on terraces, and the other half on hillsides. The soils are the typical ones of Priorat, licorella (slate).

4 Gotes is a wine made from Black Grenache, Downy Grenache, Garnacha Tintorera (Alicante Bouschet) and Grey Grenache from their own vineyards.

The grapes are manually harvested and placed in 16-kg boxes. When they arrive at the winery, 50% of the grapes go through skin-contact maceration, and the other 50% through carbonic maceration for 1 to 2 weeks. After the fermentation ends, the wine rests for a 6months in stainless steel and cement deposits.       

4 Gotes is a juicy, fresh and easy to drink wine, where the main character is the ripe red fruits. In this wine, Alfredo Arribas is able to preserve the intensity of the wines from Priorat, with an unusual freshness for the area.
