The Laurona was born with the philosophy of enjoying the variety of the finest vineyards in the DO Montsant. This is why it was developed from selected grape varieties from Falset, Marça, El Molar, La Figuera and Darmos. The complexity of the old vineyards, vinification and meticulous aging allow refining this elegant wine.

The Laurona has a deep purplish red colour typical to its actual youth. Its aroma is penetrating, complex and intense. Initially, it recalls blackcurrant, plums, blackberries and roasted dried fruits. Gradually, as the wine opens up, complexity increases and penetrating spicy notes appear (vanilla, cinnamon ...) and a pleasant floral background (violets). Its palate is opulent, velvety and very persistent. The abundance and balance of tannins provide a luxurious evolution over the next ten years.
