El Tribut de Scala Dei is a beautiful wine made from grapes grown in vineyards under cultivation since the 12th Century. It has a wonderfully intense raspberry and black pepper aroma, with exciting hints of freesia and Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, it is fresh and tangy, with ripe yet tart fruit flavours and light, soft tannins. This comes both from Scala Dei’s high altitude clay-limestone vineyards at Priorat’s northernmost extent, as well as sites with licorella (slate) bedrock further to the south. Made mostly from Garnatxa, with a little Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Carinyena.

Common questions
What does Cru Classé mean on Bordeaux?
It means the estate was ranked in an official classification, most famously the 1855 classification of the Médoc and Graves. It shows status, not a guarantee of style or quality in every vintage.
Does Cabernet Sauvignon need decanting?
Young, structured Cabernet often benefits from an hour in a decanter. Older bottles may have sediment and should be poured carefully. Everyday fruity Cabernet is usually fine straight from the bottle.
