Founded in 1917, Celler Masroig has over a century of history and is recognized as a benchmark of the Montsant DO in the Priorat region. The winery blends tradition with contemporary knowledge to craft wines that reflect the unique character of the terroir. Working primarily with Grenache and Carignan on the region’s red clay soils, the team emphasizes Carignan as the foundation of their wines, harnessing the soil and sunlight to achieve optimal ripeness. Guided by a deep connection to their land, Celler Masroig produces wines that express both the personality of the estate and the essence of its territory.

Sourced from vineyards in the southwest of Montsant from vines over 60 years old, the Sorts Vinyes Velles represents the winery’s flagship expression. Opening with expressive aromas of bright cherry and violet highlights, complemented by a complex bouquet of red and black fruit preserves with hints of black pepper, cloves, cocoa, and Mediterranean undergrowth. On the palate, it's warm and rounded, with ripe, supple tannins and a long, lingering finish.

Match the rich, warm character and ripe tannins of this red with heartier fare - Think roasted meats, paprika-spiced stews & filling casseroles. 

Press Reviews

Decanter

95 Points - David Williams, Matthew Forster MW, Luis Gamiz

Matthew Forster, MW: Founded in 1917, Celler Masroig today manages 350ha of prime vineyard across Montsant. But it’s the up-to-the-minute winemaking skills, led by head winemaker Carles Escolar, that make it stand out on the Catalan scene. Maisroig has always been committed to the quality of Carignan on red clay soils, and the variety dominates the blend of Les Sorts (with just 5% Garnacha in the 2020). After a traditional fermentation, the wine is aged for 17 months in new French oak and 12 months in bottle before release. 

David Williams: Ripe, rich, maturing nose with creamy blackberry and a cut of orange pithiness and black cherry. Lots of tannin and extract, but enough fruit to carry through to more creamy blackberry on the finish, which contrasts with a rosemary-and-orange bitterness.Matthew Forster MW: Savoury black olive and bark characters, brooding black fruit. Succulent, with fine concentration and balance. 

Luis Gamiz: Dark fruit, spice, great mid-palate concentration and intensity, firm, tight-knit tannins. Round and full-bodied but very good integration and a long finish.
