Tasting Notes:  Fresh and fruity, with rich scents of summer red fruits, raspberry and cherry. Dry, quite fruity yet light, soft-textured with a very fresh and friendly style, gentle tannins and a clean smooth finish.

Orto vins started in 2008 as the result of a joint project from 4 vine growers from El Masroig, small village inside the appellation of Montsant in the Catalonia region. Jordi Beltran, Josep Mª Beltran, Josep Mª Jové and Joan Asens. All of them come from families with a long tradition in vine growing.  With this project headed by Joan Asens, an experienced oenologist, and best known for his work during 15 years in Alvaro Palacio`s winery in Gratallops, where he was in charge of the viticulture and vinification side, they return to their origins continuing to blend the finest quality wines, from their own vineyards, according to their traditions.
