Wine Description:
La Cartuja is a modern interpretation of DOCa Priorat’s terroir, acknowledging the historical significance of the Carthusian monks who cultivated the region during medieval times. Priorat, a prestigious Spanish appellation, is renowned for its mineral-rich reds grown in volcanic slate soils. La Cartuja, crafted from estate-owned grapes in the Les Solanes estate, embodies Mediterranean charm. Unlike typical Priorat wines, it offers approachability, moderate alcohol, and soft tannins, allowing for earlier enjoyment. This small-production cuvee, initiated in 2007, aims to showcase the region's unique mineral character, making Priorat accessible to a wider audience while honoring its rich heritage.
