The D.O. Montsant is a young wine appellation and so too are its professionals. Many winemakers are under 40 years old. A prestigious US wine expert who visited our wine region once observed: “when you visit France, you see a lot of winemakers of advancing age, yet here, in Montsant, they are all young and wear jeans!”. We at the D.O. Montsant believe that youth, coupled with a solid wine-making tradition is synonymous of future, new ideas and taking risks.To conclude, this is the D.O. Montsant today: a young wine appellation with a promising future ahead of it.
