Production: Sourced from their own high-altitude vineyards, growing on poor slate hillsides, between 800 and 900 meters above sea level, up the hills of Prades in the small village of Vilanova de Prades. The grapes growing at high altitudes are noted for their higher natural acidity content which benefits the production of a wine of much higher quality that exhibits an amazing depth, concentration and complexity, qualities that contribute to its unique personality and give them a remarkable capacity for ageing. The wines are produced in a traditional way, small production and practicing a viticulture with highly respect to the environment, following the rules of the organic viticulture, both in the vineyard and in the winery, and the lunar phase calendar.

The wine has aged during 12 months in French oak barrels.

Tasting Notes: Mature dark fruit aromas, plums, cassis, liquorice and cedar notes, jammy fruit on the nose. Ripe, slightly earthy fruit with baked cherry and raspberry, smoky and mineral, marked tannins with volume and concentration.
