Els Pics · 2023

4.4/5
61 reviews

What could we possibly expect from this superb Priorat winery on producing a wine like Els Pics, and moderately-priced too, except another great wine. An excellent little wine showing Priorat typicality but, above all, boasting the unmistakable ‘Mas Alta’ hallmark, with that warmth and fruit-driven depth and that refinement, quite capable of delighting every type of palate. Els Pics is a powerful yet accessible wine, and a complex one since it amasses fine qualities acquired over the whole production process.
