Bodegas Mas Alta, founded in 1999, is located in the heart of Priorat and focuses on producing wines that express the rugged, slate-rich terroir of the region. The 2019 Black Slate Vilella Alta is a reflection of the estate’s commitment to crafting powerful yet balanced wines from old vines grown on steep, schist-laden slopes.

 

TASTING NOTES: Deep ruby in color, this wine offers intense aromas of blackberries, ripe plums, and violets, with hints of licorice, crushed rock, and spice. The palate is rich and structured, showcasing dark fruit flavors, well-integrated tannins, and a long, mineral-driven finish.

 

FOOD PAIRINGS: Pairs well with grilled meats, slow-braised lamb, and hearty Mediterranean dishes.
