This deep-ruby-colored wine has a bouquet of cherry pie and baking spices. Robust tannins are wrapped around flavors of cherry preserves, blackberry liqueur, licorice, lavender and cinnamon, with a closing splash of pomegranate.

A modern wine, purplish red colour with intense aroma. Supple tannins of new oak. On the palate it is powerful, silky and elegant. Long finish which brings out its special spicy varietal character.

Grandeur and splendour would not exist without marvels like Perlat.
Undeniably sublime: Perlat, the most refined expression of the magnificent Montsant. Just as every pearl is unique and precious, Perlat is a magnificent jewel of nature.

Appellation

The Designation of Origin DO Montsant is located in the centre of Catalonia, forming a ring around the famous and exclusive DOQ Priorat. DO Montsant is known as the diamond in the rough, because although it is a new DO existing for only a few years, it already has a prestigious reputation throughout the world. In fact, its prestige is growing so fast that DO Montsant is today one of the world's top-rated regions.
Wine has been produced in the Montsant area for thousands of years. It is a very isolated area, depending exclusively on agricultural production methods that respect the environment and which serve as a good example of environmental preservation. Vineyards spread out across the mountainous slopes among olive groves, forests, and stone.

Food pairing

Ideal with any white or red meats (fowl, wild game, roast lamb, beef...), with stewed legumes and cured and blue cheeses.
Decant it and serve between 14 and 16 Celsius.
