Product Description
Details
The 2019 vintage of Voltons wine, the flagship Spanish red wine of the La Conreria de Scala Dei winery, is made from the traditional varieties Carignan and Grenache
Both are planted in in the village of Scala Dei, the spiritual heart of Priorat. The Carignan is sourced from over 100-year-old grapevines, while the Grenache is sorted from grapevines around 20 years of age.
The grapes were first cold-macerated and then fermented with the skins in stainless steel tanks, where they were also aged for some months. After that, this red wine from Priorat was aged in 500-litre French and Austrian oak barrels for 12 months.
Finally, the red wine Voltons 2019 was aged for a further 18 months in the bottle before its commercial release.
Decant this Crianza red wine at least 30 minutes before drinking.
Additional Information
Additional Information
| Appearance | The red wine Voltons is medium ruby with a puprplish rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Surprisingly fresh and refined. Pristine aromas of blackberries, boysenberries and red currants, delicate floral nuances, and enticing notes of Mediterranean herbs set this blend of Grenache and Carignan apart from most Priorat red wines. There is also a smokey and mineral background -but, again, gentle and subdued. |
| Palate | This wine from La Conreria de Scala Dei has a fresh, poised palate which is a far cry from the more brooding character of some top Priorat red wines. Loose and spacious, with smooth tannins, gentle mineral notes and succulent fruit. It has a long, assured and wonderfully evocative finish. |
| Our personal opinion | When bridled power meets gentleness the result is the red wine Voltons 2019. An uncommon, world-class Priorat which will pair excellently with cured meats and stews. |

Fascinating
A Priorat which goes against the grain: medium extraction, subtle, very fresh. I think this wine is captivating, and it will grow in the bottle.
