Mas Donis Old Vines 2020
Montsant, Catalunya (Catalonia Cataluña), SpainThe 50/30/20 blend of grenache, cariñena, and syrah comes out of Monsant DO, a sub-region that surrounds the DOQ of Priorat. Monsant is relatively new DO that was recognized for its superior wines produced from old vines on old soils, but the viticulture is centuries old. This wine has evolved, and the move to concrete fermenting and aging has enlivened this label first developed by Eric Solomon in 2002 when he created a special cuvee with winemaker Daphne Glorian, and a star was born. Friendly and round, this wine slips down seamlessly, but the granite/schist terroir gives it its backbone and length, and just the right amount of savoir-faire. I love the quality and the price of this real wine. Drink or hold, and it's perfect for pork ribs or grilled beef.Tasted: 03 November 2023Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $25.99 | 750ml | BCL Stores |
