About the Producer
Scala Dei (Latin for "Ladder of God") is the oldest winery in the Priorat region, being established by Carthusian monks in 1163. Nowadays, it still conserves the same traditional spirit of its origin.
The dramatic terroir of the region surrounding the winery is breathtakingly steep –Scala Dei owns 220 acres of vineyard distributed over 40 different sites – and covered in black slate. Moreover, the extremely low yields, in some cases only two pounds of fruit per vine, produce highly concentrated grapes.
Scala Dei has hence a very limited production of hand crafted wines, which capture the essence of the abrupt landscape, the intense climate and the old vines, resulting in a great variety of flavors that age well. In short, wines with a truly unique, regional flavor
Tasting Notes
It is clean and bright. It is ruby red with a high layer of maroon and brown tones on the edge. Its aromas are intense and persistent, reminding us of red berries and black fruits, strawberries, blackberries, violet floral nuances, all paired with subtle spicy hints and toasted notes. It is a wine with a strong body, defined by its fineness, it is then silky in the mouth with ripe and elegant tannins that are complemented with the mineral aromas.
