From a single estate of 59 acres located in the very heart of Priorat at 820 feet elevation with southeast facing slopes, La Cartuja showcases the mineral complexities of Priorat in a youthful, approachable style. The nutrient-poor soils here are composed of volcanic slate and sand imparting a mineral and graphite layer of flavor that is a signature of the appellation, combining the acidity of a cool climate with the ripe tannins of a warmer climate.
