Chateau history

In the rugged heart of the Priorat region, Celler Masroig has cultivated a reputation for excellence since 1917. The Les Sorts Selecció 2016 stands as a testament to the wisdom of old vines, drawing its character from the distinct clay and limestone soils of Montsant. This vintage captures the essence of a Mediterranean climate, where the intense heat of the day is moderated by the cooling influence of the surrounding mountain ranges. The philosophy behind this cuvée is one of minimal intervention, allowing the Carignan and Grenache blend to express its true origin. Each parcel is harvested by hand and vinified separately, ensuring that the unique personality of every vineyard block is preserved before being harmoniously assembled. The result is a wine of profound depth, reflecting a century of traditional winemaking knowledge fused with modern precision.
