95 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -

The amazing 2015 Planetes de Nin is a young-vine blend of Garnacha and Cariñena that fermented in 3,200-liter French oak vats with indigenous yeasts and matured in a 3,000-liter oak vat for some 18 months. It starts as a closed and serious red, with great detail, poise and elegance, incredibly fresh for the conditions of the year, challenging the 2014 with freshness. It's fresh and mineral, elegant and perfumed, floral and nicely balanced on the palate. This has to be the finest Planetes to date. Bravo! 9,070 bottles were filled in April 2017

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
Savvy geek alert! Nin Ortiz is somewhat of a “cult” producer in the Priorat, so it’s quite lucky we happen to have any at all! 95 points Wine Advocate priced like this? A partnership between Ester Nin and Carlos Ortiz, these brilliant, serious, sophisticated wines are biodynamically farmed, French oak-fermented and utterly COMPELLING, especially when you factor the pricing in. Just read the Wine Advocate notes!
This will likely disappear quick --- please lock it in while we have it --- we did! Right into the cellar!! FREE SHIPPING ON 6 as always, and super-cheap flat-rate prices on less than 6! The best in the biz! While it lasts...
About the Producer
After obtaining a degree in Biology at the University of Barcelona then a subsequent degree in Enology, with an emphasis on biodynamic and organic viticulture, Ester Nin took a position at Mas Martinet in the village of Porrera in 2001. Raised in the Alt Penedes, she felt right at home in the Priorat and eventually became the viticulturist at Clos i Terrasses where she transitioned the vineyards to biodynamic farming. In 2004 Ester bought a 7 acre parcel of old vine Garnatxa and Carinyena in one of the highest sites in the Priorat. A few years earlier, Carles Ortiz from Barcelona, and a trained Enologist in his own right, had purchased 12 acres of vineyards outside of Porrera called Finca les Planetes. Both Carles and Ester were early proponents of biodynamics in the Priorat, both lived in Porrera and both were young and available and thus Familia Nin-Ortiz was born.
