The grapes are from higher areas of Escaladei, where the soil is predominantly clay and a mixture of young and old vines. The sites are north and east-facing, between 500 and 600 metres above sea level. All grapes are hand-harvested and pass through two selection processes.

Scala Dei is a trailblazer in the Priorat region, both historically and stylistically. Its origins date back to 1194 when Carthusian monks laid the winery’s sacred foundations. Today, it maintains the artisanal, traditional spirit of its origins under the guidance of enigmatic winemaker Ricard Rofes. The wines exquisitely capture the essence of a rugged terrain and Mediterranean climate. Vines have been grown for centuries in some of their seventy hectares of historic vineyards, where Garnacha and Cariñena grapes flourish. Crafted with limited production, the wines exhibit a grace, energy, and transparent terroir expression that distinguish them from others in the region.
