Colour

Clean, clear and bright. Maroon color with ruby highlights. Medium / high layer intensity. Very nice to see.

AROMA:

On the nose, it is the expression of Priorat and Garnacha. Fragrant aromas of black fruit and berries, where they are balanced with a palette of floral aromas (saffron flower), all assembled with pungent and expressive mineral aromas.

TASTE:

Entry into the mouth with good power, but where it is balanced and very elegant. The spicy notes reappear where they melt with fine tannins and good acidity, resulting in a persistent, broad and very tasty wine.

With this wine we wanted to recover a production heritage that existed in Priorat and that takes us to the first Cellers de Scala Dei bottlings. So, having investigated how those bottles from the 70s had been made, we have vinified the Masdeu. Harvest during the third week of October, in small boxes, with 100% of the rasp in the fermentation, but with the crushed grape (not whole). Fermented in a small cement tank of 3,500 liters, imitating the temperature peaks typical of the fermentations of the last century, without added yeasts and pressed in the cement tank itself.

Aging: 55% of the wine was in a cement tank for 16 months, 25% of the wine 16 months in a 1,400-liter foudre, 15% in 600-liter barrels for 16 months and the rest in a jar buried in a drawer. wooden with clay also for 16 months.
