Scala Dei Cartoixa 2016 (Array) 750ml, 75% Garnacha, 25% Cariñena

A deep to very deep, dense morello cherry red with violet hues The intense aromas of ripe black fruits, plum plus a touch of violet intermingle with distinct mineral notes from the licorella slate terroir which give it its distinct Priorat typicity Its aging in barrels gives it spicy aromas such as vanilla, pepper and toasty notes On the palate it is robust, buttery, supple with intense mature tannins, with full rounded body and a long lingering finish

El nuevo equipo técnico de Scala Dei, dirigido por el enólogo Ricard Rofes, ha concebido este vino de una manera diferente a lo que siempre habíamos visto. Eliminando las variedades de uva foráneas para quedarse sólo con las dos variedades que son la bandera del Priorat han conseguido un vino muy original. El Cartuja de Scala Dei está hecho con un 75% de Garnacha Tinta y un 25% de Cariñena o Samsó de viñas muy viejas de unos 60 años plantadas en los bonitos y siempre impresionantes laderas de pizarra tan típicos del Priorat. Este es el intento de hacer un vino con el máximo respeto por la tierra y también siguiendo al máximo el método como se elaboraba el vino antiguamente. El vino ha sido envejecido 24 meses en barricas grandes de madera de roble y esto hace que sea un vino con una gran capacidad de guarda.

Very light flavour. A tender berry smell.This red is lasting, it has a long aftertaste.
We enjoyed it together with friends.
I liked sharing this wine with someone special.

The Scala Dei Cartoixa Reserva pairs perfectly with meat. I opened this wine with my best friend.
Rather clear red hue. I would highlight the aromas of tobacco. Flavours are well balanced.

I took it with an octopus and liked it. I drank this Scala Dei Scala Dei Cartoixa once with my coworkers.
Very dark Bordeaux colour. Smells like chocolate. I noticed some good roughness in the mouth.
