Scala Dei Cartoixa is not only the most emblematic wine of the Scala Dei wineries; it is also a milestone in the wine history of Priorat, as it was the first wine bottled under the D.O.C. Priorat. Scala Dei Cartoixa is made with a selection of the best autochthonous grapes of the area: Grenache and Cariñena.

TASTING NOTES

View: A deep to very deep, dense morello cherry red with violet hues.

Nose: 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.

Palate: It is robust, buttery, supple with intense mature tannins, with full rounded body and a long lingering finish.

FOOD PAIRING

Ideal companion for stews and casseroles, cured cheeses, cured Iberian ham and other quality cold meats, and especially with venison and grilled meats.
