The new addition to the Celler Cal Pla, Mas d’en Compte range: Obac de l’Andreva, will undoubtedly catch our interest. A perfectly matched cupage of mainly Hairy Grenache (70%) complemented with Carignan, it takes its name from the parcel where the wine comes from, “Obac de l’Andreva”, all grapes sourced from their own Llicorella, slate-based vineyards, low-yielding 30-year-old vines growing at an altitude of 350-400 meters and facing north. Macerated for 30 days with the skins and fermented in stainless steel tanks at 28º.

The wine ages for 14 months in 300-liter French oak barrels.

Tasting Notes: All finesse with great aromatic intensity and complexity. Plenty of red fruits, spiciness, and notes of Mediterranean herbs. Intense on the palate with a silkiness and delicate texture, firm and harmonious all the way

Celler Cal Pla is a small, family-run winery dating back to 1814. It is located in the village of Porrera, a small village in the heart of the highly acclaimed wine region of Priorat. Cal Pla is the name of the family and the house, which gives the name to the wines. They can be proud of their more than 200-year history, which has seen various generations working hard, growing vines, and making wines to pass on the legacy to their descendants. 

Today, the winery is in the hands of the seventh generation of the Sangenís family, led successfully by Joan Sangenís, and produces a range of wines from grapes cultivated in the family’s own vineyards and bottled in their cellar.
