Ratings & Reviews
Vineyard
10-90 years old vines, 12 different vineyards, ecologically certified, biodynamically farmed, regenerative vineyards within select plots. Owned and operated by a band of 4 meticulous farmers to the point of picking out every raisin out of every cluster, pre-harvest, to ensure freshness. Joan and team are devoted to the biodynamic calendar, as well as using the applications that withhold those standards. Vineyards are 70 - 200m of elevation.
Vinification
70% destemmed, 30% whole cluster, soaks on skins for 29 days, one lunar cycle, before crush.
Aging
The wine is then pressed and returned to tank where it spends 6 months on the lees to be later aged for 6 months in 8+ year old French barrels.

Tasting Note
Dark ruby. A restrained nose offers delicate hints of raspberry, rosemary, rocks, black plum and fig compote. Baking spices on the palate soften the medium bodied, serious grip, the early harvest retains the freshness. The tannin and restraint this wine shows suggests that long term aging could truly enhance our ability to see the power and finesse of the vintage. The bodacious blue fruit famous from Priorat offers the finesse and vertical minerals that makes Montsant magic.
