The wine

A blend of Garnacha (45%) and Cariñena (45%), with a small percentage of Syrah, Riu is a fresh, mature Priorat that admirably reflects its terroir. Aged in oak barrels but not new ones, this is the junior cellar companion of the grand cuvées, Trio Infernal 1/3 and 2/3.

Aged for 12 months in 500-litre French oak barrels, used previously for one or two wines.

Trio Infernal

Trio Infernal

Michel Gérin (Côte-Rotie / Condrieu), Laurent Combier (Crozes Hermitage) and Peter Fischer (Château Revelette / Coteaux d'Aix) head up this company, the venture dreamed up by three French vine growers, who, backed and supported by important associates like René Barbier, Álvaro Palacios and Luis Pérez, made the decision one fine day to head for the lands of the Priorat.
