Founded over a decade ago by the Perez and Dalmau family, Domini de la Cartoixa is located in El Molar, part of the Priorat DOCa – one of Spain’s greatest red winemaking regions, renowned for its rich history and unique landscape characterised by colourful terrain and a distinctive local soil known as llicorella.
Domini de la Cartoixa’s commitment to organic practices is symbolised by 'Formiga de Vellut,' meaning ‘Velvety Ant.’ This pays tribute to the organic growing practices that enable ants to thrive in the vineyard, hence the presence of ants on the label. It showcases their dedication to sustainability.
Formiga is an authentic and top-quality Priorat made from a blend of Garnacha, Carinena and Syrah. It’s carefully crafted by rockstar Miguel Perez Gerrada who takes quality winemaking to extraordinary new heights with a scrupulously modern winemaking approach.
Tasting Note
This powerful, multi-layered wine boasts rich black fruits, baking spices, and stony minerality peppered with a touch of savoury balsamic notes. The fleshy, velvety palate shows remarkable freshness even with all that ripe fruit. It's an authentic expression of the famed Priorat.
