ORGANIC WINE 2021
EL MOLAR
BALANCE AND POWER
D.O.Q. PRIORAT • SPAIN
"The perfect symbiosis between the robustness of slate and organic elegance: a red wine that seduces with its dense fruitiness, mineral freshness, and impeccably polished tannins."
Elegance Conquered on the Slopes of Priorat
The Galena D.O.Q. Priorat 2021 Organic Red Wine is a masterful display of the potential of precision organic viticulture in extreme terrains. Produced by the Domini de la Cartoixa winery on their estate in El Molar, this wine takes its name from the mineral "galena," a direct tribute to the underground richness and fragmented slate soils (llicorella). The 2021 vintage is distinguished by its formidable balance; it combines the tannic strength of Carignan and the velvety roundness of Grenache, enriched with select touches of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah.
