Cartoixa is where the two Priorats meet, the typically dense and deep from llicorella and the subtle and cool from the higher clay. This wine is the true heritage of the techniques we were taught by the monks, who have grown and cultivated these very vineyards for centuries.
It has a medium-low layer, with a light cherry colour and purple nuances. Its aromas are intense and persistent, combining those of black ripe fruits, plums, cassis and a floral touch of violets with evident mineral notes given by the llicorella soil: the typical Priorat stamp. Then, the ageing provides it with spicy aromas. In the mouth it is a powerful, unctuous, smooth, intense wine, with ripe tannins, it has a full body and is long and lasting.
