THE WINERY

Celler La Conreria D’Scala Dei received its name from the priory of Scala Dei, where the Carthusian monks at the monastery planted their first vines back in 1194.

The current Celler was founded in 1997 as an initiative and enthusiasm of a group of people historically linked to the Priorat. It is located in a privileged enclave surrounded by the natural park of Montsant in the heart of the Priorat winemaking area.

Actually, they produced a selection of high-quality wines using grapes sourced from their 26,5 ha of leased and owned vineyards, scattered over different plots within the D.O. Priorat.
