La Conreria de Scala Dei stands out as an exquisitely situated winery in the heart of the Iberian Peninsula. Its idyllic location in the ancient village of Scala Dei, nestled beneath the captivating Montsant, also known as the “holy mountain,” grants it a breathtaking backdrop. Adjacent to the winery lies the remarkable ruins of the 12th-century Cartoixa d’Scala-Dei, a magnificent monastery that has become an emblem of the sophisticated Priorat wine region. Managed by three partners, one of whom is a priest, this prestigious winery has gained acclaim for its remarkable production of white wines using the native Garnacha Blanca grape (Grenache Blanc).
While Priorat is renowned for its robust, high-alcohol red wines—a favorite among wine critics from the United States, France, and Britain—La Conreria de Scala Dei defies expectations by crafting captivating and unique white wines. Notable among them are the “Nona” and “Les Brugueres,” which shine brightly amidst a sea of wines, captivating palates with their distinctive and delectable flavors. These wines possess a rich creaminess and an almost oily texture, beckoning to be savored alongside a delicious meal.
A visit to La Conreria de Scala Dei promises an extraordinary experience. Accompanied by the skilled and unassuming winemaker Jordi Vidal, guests are invited to sample the “black wines” directly from the barrels and explore the intimate surroundings of the micro-boutique winery. As the journey continues, the cellars lead to a vineyard that unveils sweeping vistas of the magnificent mountains, leaving visitors awe-inspired by the sheer beauty of the landscape.
