Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

This wine shows a deep purple to black with vivid red and a bluish edge. The aroma is of fresh red berries, Asian spices, a bouquet of mineral, anise, thyme, espresso and wild blueberry. It poses elegant structures, harmonic acidities combined with nuts. On the palate, it is juicy, buxom with dense black and blue fruits, downy and pulpy tannins and a finish with impressive lift and clarity.

Professional Ratings

  • 93
    This powerful red delivers flavors of plum, currant, espresso, licorice and mineral. The broad texture is supported by muscular, well-integrated tannins, while balsamic acidity keeps this balanced and lively. A bold, modern style that remains focused and fresh. Drink now through 2027.

Portal del Montsant, Spain
Portal del Montsant Vineyards in Montsant Winery Image

Portal del Montsant was founded in 2003, after taking the reins on the old wine cooperative Marcá, and their legacy of over a century of winemaking. This increasingly popular Montsant winery stands out for its use of local grape varieties -Garnache and Cariñena- usually coming from over 60 years old vines.

The climate of the region (south of Barcelona) is typically mediterranean, with the vineyards such as Cornudella to the north, and at an elevation of 700-800 meters, enjoying some characteristics of a continental climate.

Small parcels of land, high quality crus, and a wide variety of soils (clay rich, chalky and sandy), make for an interesting selection of individual wines, rich in variety and personality, subtle, fragrant and complex.

Beyond the usual suspects, there are hundreds of red grape varieties grown throughout the world. Some are indigenous specialties capable of producing excellent single varietal wines, while others are better suited for use as blending grapes. Each has its own distinct viticultural characteristics, as well as aroma and flavor profiles, offering much to be discovered by the curious wine lover. In particular, Portugal and Italy are known for having a multitude of unique varieties but they can really be found in any region.

Surrounding the region of Priorat on all sides, Montsant shares much in common with its neighbor. Though its soils contain less schist than that of Priorat, its old Garnacha and Carinena vineyards produce wines of similar intensity and character.
