WINE DESCRIPTION
Scala Dei Garnatxa Priorat is a premium wine produced by the Scala Dei winery in the Priorat appellation of Spain. The vineyards are located on steep slopes with unique soil composition, which imparts a distinct minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves hand-harvesting the grapes and fermenting them in stainless steel tanks before aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a rich and complex expression of the Garnacha grape, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of smokiness.
