Sant Antoni is a single-vineyard wine of very small production that is part of Ricard Rofes' “Proyecto Garnachas”, the celler’s winemaker. It is a series of three Garnachas sourced from various plots with different soil types and altitudes.
Sant Antoni is a “Vi de Vila d’Escaladei”, whole-cluster fermented in cement vats and aged for 14 months in second-use oak foudres of 1400 litres. Garnacha from old vines planted in 1945, grown at 600 metres of altitude on yellow clay soils in the “Sant Antoni” vineyard, with an east-south-west exposure and surrounded by Mediterranean forest.
The Priory of Scala Dei, founded in 1163, was the first monastery on the peninsula and planted the region’s first grapes. For this reason, the bodega is emblematic of Priorat. The current owners took over in 1973, and Codorniu bought 25% at the end of 2000.
Tasting notes:
It represents the finesse, freshness, and elegance of the Garnacha variety. Very expressive Garnacha with a Mediterranean character, quite open and aromatic, scents of herbs like rosemary and thyme, subtly spicy with hints of violets, quite mineral, riper and darker fruit flavours, quite juicy, and lightly toasted notes.
Notes: It is recommended to open and decant the wine in advance to achieve its maximum potential.
