Tasting
Appearance
Cherry, deep, with violet rims and very thick legs.
Nose
Fruits of the forest and floral aromas. Clove, cinnamon, vanilla, toasted flavours and smoked notes. Hints of minerals and balsamic.
Mouthfeel
Fleshy, lots of volume and unctuous. Elegant, with an acidity that provides freshness.
General
The old Cariñenas and Garnachas harvested by hand by the cooperative members are vinified at a century-old winery, in close collaboration with the winery team and Marta Ferré, the winemaker, at the helm.
Serving temperature
18 degrees
Pairing Notes
Ideal for roasted or grilled red meats, and game. Excellent for stews cooked with aromatic herbs. Serve at a temperature of 18°C. Decant an hour before Tastinging.
Occasion
An absolutely stunning wine. A wonderful coupage of the three varieties, an exceptional old vine, harvest by hand with a large selection of grapes, and ageing in French oak barrels. This is a Montsant red wine that will enamour you the minute that you Tastinge it. It's very important to drink it at the recommended temperature and remember to open the bottle a while before trying it. This means that you can savour all the organoleptic qualities that it has been treasuring during its preparation.
In the vineyard
Garnachas and Cariñenas over 90 years old. 450 metres above sea level. Narrow terraces with very poor slate soils. Average yield of 700 g per vine.
In the winery
Malolactic fermentation before ageing on lees for 20 months in new French oak barrels. Regular bâtonnage in light and medium toasted barrels. Bottled without clarifying. Bottle ageing for a minimum of one year.
Cellar
Cooperativa Falset - Mas Lahon
The Cooperativa Falset-Marçà (DO Montsant) is the result of the merger between the Marçà and Falset cooperatives, two neighbouring towns just a three-kilometre drive apart in the southern part of the Priorat region.
Do Montsant
In 1932, the Falset subzone was created within the limits of the DO Tarragona, which had previously occupied the current territory of the DO Montsant (finally created in 2001). It currently has a total of fifty-nine wineries spread between the Priorat and the Ribera de Ebro. The DO covers everything from family vineyards to private wineries of various sizes and major cooperatives.
