Description: Costers del Siurana is run by the enigmatic Carols Pastruana, the former Mayor of Gratalops in Priorat.  Carlos was one of the pioneers in Priorat which now rank among the most sought after in the whole of Spain.

The Dolc de L'Obac is a serious, almost port like (without the alcohol), sweet red wine.  The unique microclimate allows the grapes to become fully ripe without botrytis and the grapes are picked over a long period with the utmost care.

Fermentation and a long maceration both take place in new, French oak casks. The result is an exquisite sweet wine which retains part of the natural, unfermented sugars of the grape.  Drinking very well now or will cellar for a further 25 - 30 years.
