Domini de la Cartoixa - Galena | Priorat DOCa | BIO
Red wine | Spain, CATALUNA | 2018
Galena is a wine with an intense cherry red color, where we want to express what our territory is. This has an important and always present mineral component, which provides freshness. It presents a remarkable aromatic complexity and a great wealth of nuances, where balsamic aromas and dried black fruits predominate, as well as jams, with light touches of black spices. On the palate it is very fatty and fresh, with a powerful but soft first attack, highlighting the aromas of black spices and minerality.

About Domini de la Cartoixa
Priorat is located southwest of Barcelona, ??and is a wild area. It is the only DOCa-status next to Rioja. The grounds of Domini de la Cartoixa (El Molar) were still owned by the Carthusian monks of Scala Dei Priory in the Middle Ages. They promoted viticulture and spread a kind of spirituality that can still be felt in the old vineyards today. Today the domain is in the hands of the Pérez-Dalmau family.
