Additional Information

Additional Information

Appearance	The red wine Scala Dei Cartoixa is medium purple with a ruby rim.
Nose	Gently mineral and enticingly floral, this blend of Grenache and Carignan conveys aromas of bilberries and raspberries, with a splash of bitter cocoa, some smokey and spicy undertones and lively remembrances of Mediterranean garrigue.
Palate	Complex and medium to full-bodied, this wine from bodega Scala Dei has a lush texture, round tannins and a metallic-earthy acidity. Very long, with deep earthy and mineral remembrances, a hint of spices and a floral and berryish aftertaste.
Our personal opinion	Showcasing the gentle side of Priorat, the red wine Scala Dei Cartoixa 2019 effortlessly combines depth and drinkability.
