Grenache: this wine reaches a perfect balance between the elegance of Priorat’s typical grenache grape and the velvety and slightly toasted tannins of the oak barrels.
The scents of the wild and aromatic plants surrounding the vineyard (thyme, rosemary, lavender…) prevail in the wine.
It is characterized by a deep red colour with shaded traces caused by its settling in the barrel.
Cabernet sauvignon: the strength and power of this variety matured under quite dry conditions is traced by being poured into a large barrel with vanilla notes. The result is a powerful but velvety wine, of a deep red colour and long taste on the palate, in which ripe fruit scents prevail.
Merlot: grapes which, because of their own features, provide a balance both with the grenache and the cabernet sauvignon grapes during the coupage, increasing the quality of these two varieties.
 Located in Priorat’s central part and in the very Montsant Natural Reserve.
In the town of Morera de Montsant, not far away from Escaladei’s centre and its 12th C. Santa Maria Carthusian monastery.
