Terms & Conditions

Cartoixa de Scala Dei is the iconic flagship red wine of supreme elegance crafted by the legendary Cellers de Scala Dei winery under DOQ Priorat. Grown in old vineyards located on licorella (slate) terraces at the foot of Montsant mountains, this wine blends Grenache's honeyed expression, deep red fruit, and richness with Carignan's (Samsó) firm structure, freshness, and mineral power. With refined oak barrel aging that enriches its aromatics without masking terroir, Cartoixa is a historic, velvety, and complex Priorat displaying pure local character.

Narrative Tasting Note

In the glass, Cartoixa de Scala Dei displays a bright, deep cherry-red color of high density with fine garnet and purple highlights. The nose immediately unfolds a complex, deep, and fascinating bouquet: intense ripe dark fruit and preserve aromas —such as wild blackberries, blueberries, dark cherries, and dried plums— emerge harmoniously intertwined with pure cocoa, dark chocolate notes, soft vanilla, exotic spices, and a distinctive cold licorella slate, graphite, and garrigue herb undertone. On the palate, it delivers a broad, warm entry with an extraordinary velvety texture; its mid-palate is fleshy, rounded, and structured, featuring wood-polished tannins balanced by lively saline acidity bringing freshness. A very long, persistent, mineral, and delightful finish leaves an unforgettable echo of black fruit preserves and heroic slate terroir.

Simple, Easy & Groundbreaking Gastronomic Pairings

Confit Duck Tacos with cherry sauce, pickled red onion, and cilantro

A luxury street-food pairing quick to assemble at home. Melty duck richness and sweet cherries find their ideal partner in this old-vine Priorat's smooth tannins and ripe fruitiness.

Black Sesame Seared Bluefin Tuna Tataki with soy glaze and black truffle oil

A groundbreaking surf-and-turf match of high elegance. Fleshy bluefin tuna and truffle earthy notes pair surprisingly well with this wine's velvety, mineral profile.

Aged Sheep Cheese or Blue Goat Cheese with artisanal fig jam and walnuts

A quick, refined, and delicious tapas option. Lactic cheese richness and sweet fig notes highlight cocoa touches and slate minerality in Cartoixa.
