Spain, Priorat
The Bellmunt Blanco is this marvelous wine for an aperitif. Whether after a beautiful day, to celebrate, or after painful moments, when you just want to relax and think only of the happiness of life. Because that's exactly what's in that bottle. The song of the birds, the breeze coming from the ocean which caresses the mountain and our skin, the ground which creaks delicately under our feet. This wine is life! This wine is the one you always want to have at home. because it reassures us and fills us with joy. And then because he perfectly expresses the words of David Foenkinos: There is always something different in the same...
Le petit blanc”: this is how Marta Rovira has affectionately named the latest addition to her range of wines, which expresses in all its personality the terroir of the Bellmunt mountain. The nose reveals complex aromas with notes of fruit (orange, apricot, peach), scents of rose and orange blossom, but also mineral notes (slate). A nuance of balsamic aromas brings an unexpected final touch. On the palate, the interaction between the fresh fruit and the blooming texture seduces from the start and develops into the long, linear and elegant finish with its acidity mastered to perfection.

The cave
Rocks and woods, unfathomable natural springs, sunny and steeply sloping traditional "coster" vineyards that top it off is the Masia or farmhouse with its ancient underground cellars. It is solidly built, high and protected by the nearby mountain of Sarraí. A dream has come true in this remote corner of the region known as the "Historical Priorat". It is framed by the limestone cliffs of the Cordillera Montsant and Llaberia, caressed by the north wind from Serè and the wind from the sea of Garbinada from the southeast, this place can only be understood as a single unit, a single domain .
The domain
At 350 meters above sea level, Mas d'en Gil extends over an area of 125 hectares in the municipality of Bellmunt del Priorat, south of the Designation of Origin Priorat. You could say that the estate, spread over five valleys, is a scale model of this mountainous region known as Priorat. It is an area filled with steep slate hillsides, Mediterranean forests, interspersed with Garnatxa (Grenache) and Carinyena (Carignan) vineyards and olive, hazelnut and almond groves.
