TASTING NOTES

world

Masdeu de Scala Dei 2012 Tinto

Cellers Scala Dei, Priorat

Same winemaking style as Sant Antoni (100% whole bunches, fermented in concrete vats and aged in foudres) but with Garnacha sourced from chalky soils up to 800 metres in the Montsant mountain. Medium ruby colour. A bit closed on the nose with some toasty aromas and more minerality than fruit. This is a medium-bodied, rather aerial red with far more fruit on the palate than on the nose; rather warm but with a chalky-mineral finish that adds character. I’d love to see how it develops in bottle. 17.0 points
