at the end of the 1970s, the married couple formed by the tarragona journalist carles pastrana and the barcelona oenologist mariona jarque embarked on the adventure of a lifetime, dedicating their professional and family future to the project of recovering priorat wines and making them known internationally. thirty years later, together with her two children, guillem and iona -who represent the essential future of this story-, they have consolidated a project that is already known and recognised all over the world. in 1979, carles pastrana and mariona jarque revived the family winemaking tradition and embarked on a long adventure to save the ancient carthusian wines in the heart of the lands that were once under the rule of the priors of scala dei, a monastery located in the catalan region of el priorat. we can say that this domain remains the most regular and captivating domain in the region the deep ruby/purple-colored 1991 offers an attractive, youthful nose of cassis and smoky new oak, full body, admirable extraction, a layered feel, and moderate tannin in the finish. these impressive wines are all made from a blend of approximately 48% garnacha, 46% cabernet sauvignon, and the remainder small quantities of syrah, merlot, and mazuelo. the wines are aged in small french oak casks for 15-18 months and bottled without filtration. they are opaquely-colored, full-bodied, powerful wines with excellent richness and a personality akin to a top-class bordeaux, so much so that it would be interesting to insert a clos de l'obac in a blind tasting with first or second-growth bordeaux. even a superb palate would have trouble ferreting out the spanish wine.
