DO Montsant

Red Wine, Barrel-aged from Old Vines

Aloja Mare is a red wine from DO Montsant, crafted from low-yield old vines. Some of the grapes are grown on slate soils. This wine is a fine representation of the region, full of nuances, with black and red fruits, sweet spices, balsamic notes, and abundant minerality, all balanced by great freshness. Though it has a robust body, it remains elegant, balanced, persistent, and never heavy. Aloja Mare offers an experience that takes you on a journey through the rolling hills and mountains of Priorat.

The label

Illustration by Oriol Malet. Immerse yourself in the enchantment of the ALOJA wine series, inspired by Catalan mythological figures: water nymphs, beings of incomparable beauty who dwell in the depths of our landscapes. Behind these magical figures lies an entire universe of fantasy and charm. According to legend, these water entities can only be seen on the magical night of the summer solstice, reflected in the serene waters of lakes, rivers, and waterfalls.
The choice of this nymph pays homage to the sensitivity, depth, and harmony that characterize the wines in this collection.
