The DO Montsant wine region, a landscape rich in nuances

A good wine becomes a great wine when it manages to say something to us. In the DO Montsant wine region, these wines are unique because they take us to their landscape and remain true to this landscape.

Montsant is a wine region shaped like a ring, made up of 17 villages that offer a wide range of nuances in their wines thanks to the steep relief of the area, the variety of soils, the different grape varieties and, of course, the human footprint. Limestone, granite, slate, clay and silt soils; high-altitude vineyards on the highlands of Montsant, Llaberia and la Figuera, level or sloping, closer to the Mediterranean Sea or further away... All this richness of nuance defines us overall as a wine region, shaping the identity and distinctiveness of our region and its wines.

With the village of Marçà below us, from this viewpoint we see the Montsant massif on the horizon, from which the wine denomination takes its name. This is a Mediterranean landscape in which vineyards of grenache, carignan and macabeu grape varieties alternate with olive and almond groves, cereals and other crops to make up an attractively sinuous patchwork. As we look westwards (towards the ridge of la Figuera) or eastwards (to the Llaberia hills and the mountain of la Mola), the land becomes steeper and the field terraces with their drystone retaining walls become more important as space for cultivation.
