La Cartuja and its lands were acquired by five families, who in 1844 founded a company to produce wine and promote the cultivation of vineyards in the area. The La Unión Agricultural Society is the origin of our winery, Cellers de Scala Dei. In 1878 , the first bottles of Priorat wine left this winery on their way to the Universal Exhibition in Paris, where they won a Gold Medal. The same recognition they obtained ten years later, at the Universal Exhibition in Barcelona in 1888. Cellers de Scala Dei was refounded in 1974 and launched the first "modern" Priorat wines on the market. Until the wine boom of the early nineties, they were one of the few private wineries that bottled wines from this region.

Cartoixa de Scala Dei is the meeting point of two lands: the dense and deep slate and the subtle and fresh high-altitude clay. Grenache and Cariñena grow there from the same vineyards that, for centuries, the Carthusian monks cultivated.

A solid red with medium chewy tannins and berry, bark and black-tea undertones. Medium to full body and a flavorful finish. Plenty of character here.
