Region: Montsant
Winery: Orto Vins
Grape: Black Grenache
Year: 2010
A very dense colour with intense violet, almost cardinal purple, and dark tones. The nose is also intense, from which aromas of red forest fruits and minerals, with mentholated and cocoa touches, stand out. The palate entry is fresh, with a good balance between the sugar and the fruits that accompany the long passage of this wine.
Winery Info
Orto Vins
Orto is made up of 4 wine producers from El Masroig who are following their parents, grandparents and great-grandparents in the path of traditional wine-making. All of them come from a co-operative tradition dating back more than 70 years. In 2008 they returned to our wine-growing roots, to a time when every village farmer made their own wine in the fermentation tanks that everyone had at home. In this way, on 18 July 2008, the Orto Vins winery was founded.
The owners are Joan Asens, Jordi Beltran, Josep Maria Beltran and Josep Maria Jové.
Why Orto?
Orto is that unique moment when the sun, or any other star, crosses the horizon and becomes visible in our hemisphere. It therefore symbolises the beginning of a new day.
Orto is also a prefix of Greek origin that means straight, correct and even beautiful.
Both definitions represent in a clear and forceful manner the owners way of understanding the world of wine.

Montsant
DO Montsant was established only in 2001 when the prime vineyards of high-altitude Falset won separate status from Tarragona.
The area is made up of a particularly dynamic set of producers and its vineyards form an almost complete circle around Priorato. Indeed a number of winemakers work in both DOs and they can often be seen comparing notes at El Cairat restaurant in Falset. (A visit to this restaurant is highly recommended if you’re visiting the town complete with its castle and palaces.)
Montant’s soils are not on the same high calibre level as those of Priorato with the exception of Falset and Cornudella de Montsant where the highly prized llicorella (slate and quartzite) features but there is an interesting combination of soils across the DO including chalk, slate and granitic.
Like its illustrious neighbour, Montsant produces concentrated red wines from old vine Garnacha Tinta and Cariñena and international grapes have adapted well here in recent years. Montsant’s producers are a combination of modern co-operatives and family bodegas. They are united in their quest for high quality making this a DO to watch closely.
