Immediately to the west of the great Catalan wine region of Penedes are the vineyards of Tarragona, which houses the dynamic sub-region of Montsant. Montsant is making a name for itself as a great value competitor to the mighty Priorat region. It is mainly the reds for which Montsant has become renowned for, the best of these excel and none more than the superb old-vine plantings of Garnacha. They can even rival top flight Penedès wines in blind tastings and are considerably better value than the admittedly excellent wines of the Priorat area. Hint of mint and fresh herb - thyme. Quite juicy fruit on the palate. Nice structure and length.
