Scala Dei Masdeu is a sublime single-vineyard red wine of aristocratic elegance and matchless mineral purity crafted by Cellers de Scala Dei under DOQ Priorat. Born in one of the region's highest and most historic vineyards, located on terraces at the foot of Montsant mountains, this wine is made as a 100% Grenache monovarietal vinified using ancient Carthusian monk methods. A cult wine of limited production standing out for its vertical freshness, delicate aromatics, and extraordinary aging capacity.

Narrative Tasting Note

In the glass, Scala Dei Masdeu displays a clean, bright, subtle medium-density ruby-red color with noble transparent garnet highlights. The nose immediately opens with a deeply complex and delicate bouquet: crunchy wild red fruit aromas —such as wild strawberries, raspberries, pale cherries, and pomegranate— emerge harmoniously intertwined with lavender, dried rose petals, high-altitude Mediterranean garrigue herbs, and a distinctive graphite, cold slate, and limestone mineral undertone. On the palate, it delivers a luminous, vertical entry with a surprisingly velvety texture; its mid-palate is agile, ethereal yet deeply structured, featuring ultra-fine tannins balanced by vibrant, saline acidity that brings freshness. An infinitely long, persistent finish of poetic elegance leaves an unforgettable echo of red fruit and pure Priorat essence.

Groundbreaking & Unexpected Gastronomic Pairings

Flame-Roasted Red Mullet over crunchy rhubarb compote and thyme wafer

An haute-cuisine pairing defying traditional rules. The iodized perfume and silky texture of rockfish pair sublimely with this high-altitude Grenache's vibrant acidity, herbal touch, and ethereal finesse.

Autumn Wild Mushroom Risotto (chanterelles & ceps) with crispy Ibérico ham and rosemary

A deep, earthy harmony. Rice creaminess and forest mushroom notes intertwine with cold slate minerality and Masdeu's thread of saline acidity.

70% Dark Chocolate Mousse with Extra Virgin Arbequina Olive Oil and sea salt flakes

A cult gastronomic combination. Cocoa elegant bitterness and Arbequina oil fruity character bring out wild red fruit and floral notes in this unique wine.
