The Priory of Scala Dei, founded in 1163, was the first monastery on the peninsula and planted the region’s first grapes; for this reason, the bodega is emblematic of the Priorat. The current owners took over in 1973, and Codorniu bought 25 % at the end of 2000.

The grapes are sourced from different selected small plots, located mainly in the traditional costers, steep slopes on a soil dominated by the characteristic "llicorella" or slate of the Priorat. It ages in new and second-year French oak barrels for 12 months, followed by another 12 months in bottle.

Tasting notes:

Rich and succulent fruit on the nose. Full-bodied red, smooth and tasty, with plenty of ripe berry fruit on the palate and subtle oak and spice. Mineral with good Priorat typicity.
