Production: The new addition to the Celler Cal Pla, Mas d’en Compte range: Obac de l’Andreva, will undoubtedly catch our interest. A perfectly matched cupage of mainly Hairy Grenache (70%) complemented with Carignan, it takes its name from the parcel where the wine comes “Obac de l’Andreva”, all grapes sourced from their own Llicorella, slate based vineyards, low-yielding 30 years old vines growing at an altitude of 350-400 meters and facing north. Macerated for 30 days with the skins and fermented in stainless steel tanks at 28º. The wine ages for 14 months in used 300 liter French oak barrels.

Tasting Notes: All finesse wit a great aromatic intensity and complexity. Plenty of red fruits, spiciness and notes of Mediterranean herbs. Intense on the palate with a silkiness and delicate texture, firm and harmonious all the way

Celler Cal Pla is a small, family-run winery, dating back to 1814. It is located in the village of Porrera, a small village in the heart of the highly acclaimed wine region of Priorat. Cal Pla is the name of the family and the house, which gives the name to the wines. They can be proud of their more than 200-year history, that has seen various generations working hard, growing vines and making wines, to pass on the legacy to their descendents. Today it is in the hands of the seventh generation, run successfully by Joan Sangenís, which is making an interesting range of wines, all produced from grapes grown in the family’s own vineyards and bottled in their cellar.
