This Wine is a homage to the monks of the courageous carthusian order, who arrived in Priorat, in 1095, where they cultivated vines. In 1835 a violent crowd destroyed the work of a lifetime & sacked the monastery, events which later culminated in the auctioning of church lands known as the Desamortizacion de Mendizabal. In 1996 the Torres Family began work on the planting of vineyards on the slopes strewn with the hard, black slate-like Licorella stone. Made by the Torres family & coming exclusively from our vineyards located in the municipalities of Porrera & Lloar, Salmos is a Priorat wine that manages to achieve an unparalleled balance between power & elegance. Dark in hue & almost opaque, it is fragrant & mineral on the nose while on the palate it is luxurious & oily, but also silky & with a long finish. This darkly coloured wine is reminiscent of jam & liquorish, over a smooth spicy & toasted background, which comes from The French oak barrels. Game & red meat dishes. Serve at 16-18deg C.
