Wines full of
character from the Holy Montsant
The Montsant
mountain range surrounds the Priorat and gives the DO it’s
name. In this dreamlike landscape with olive trees,
amandel trees and vines
Ruud Persoon, founder of Terra Personas, purchased
in 2006 old vines on
the terraces of the Siurana valley. Here the
Carinena, Garnacha, and Syrah
are at their best and provide complex and
drinkable wines.
We taste the wines in the middle of
the vineyards, the plants patronize
us excellently. These are wines that will delight the heart, qualitatively
very
high standing and perfectly vinified. But most of all we were surprised by
the
price. Incredibly such complex wines at a fair price!
Unfortunately few people take care of the landscape heritage in this region.
Many vineyards were destroyed, a pity. Luckily, there are people like
Ruud Persoon and Norrel Robertson, Master of Wine, who takes care of
the Bodega vinification and assembly.
