SiurAlta VINS NUS Montsant is Alfredo Arribas’ project in the DO Montsant. This project includes a range of wines made in the most natural way: pure, handcrafted, and close to their origins. Wines where the acidity constitutes the backbone of the wine, thus replacing the traditional tannic based structure, this can be achieved thanks to the higher freshness existing permanently in the SiurAlta area, which allows practicing a non-interventionist winemaking. Resulting in high altitude wines with great capacity for ageing.
Since the early starts of this wine-making adventure in 2001 with his initial project of Clos del Portal in Priorat, Alfredo has moved on focused by his passion and concern in the search for new initiatives. He developed a recovery task of old vines in the neighbouring DO Montsant "Trossos", followed by the incorporation of a project called "el Mas de l’A", based on the different red and white Grenache grapes growing in the enclave of La Morera de Montsant. Opting for sustainable agriculture and viticulture, co-planting as a rule, and stimulating the virtues of the youngest vines.
