Scala Dei Heretge 2021

The Scala Dei Heretge is an elegant and complex red wine made from the Cariñena (Carignan) grape variety and is a wine that breaks with the "dogma" followed until now by Cellers Scala Dei, where the Garnacha grape has always been their hallmark. Since its re-foundation in 1973, the Scala Dei winery has been based on three fundamental pillars: altitude, soil and Grenache. However, the winery is also home to old vine Carignan, planted on slate slopes at the beginning of the 20th century. Scala Dei Heretge pays tribute to the winegrowers committed to the Priorat and the techniques of this heroic, mountain viticulture which date back to the middle of the last century. The Carignan grapes are sourced from four different vineyards with vines that  range in age from 80 to 117 years old. At the winery the typical minimal intervention techniques employed by Scala Dei for their Grenache based wines is adopted, so the wine reflects the peculiarity of the terroir that is so characteristic of Priorat slate soils. Fermentation takes place in open cement vats with 30% of the stems and then remains in contact with the skins for 30 days, from vatting to pressing. Limited to approximately 3,000 bottles, this is a rich red wine with savoury complexity and textured tannins.

If the vintage of a wine is important to you then please leave a note at checkout advising us of this. 

 

Stock Availability

As we are retail stockists, selling from our Ledston shop as well as online, it makes it difficult for us to show a 'real-time' inventory of our wines and spirits online. As such, very occasionally, a wine may be out of stock that the website has allowed you to order.

To ensure a timely delivery, we are happy to substitute your order with a similar wine of equal or higher value and at no additional cost to you!

If this is not an acceptable solution please advise us in the 'Add A Comment' section at the checkout.
