Origen d’Semal
DO Montsant
Saying ORIGEN DE SEMAL is like saying ‘’excellence, purity, elegance, elixir’’… One Ha. from the Mas d’en Joan Gros vineyard gives a product we dare to define as sublime, unique and heady, which is a delight for our friends-clients. A centenary plot now organically planted with Samsó, cultivated by Josep Maria Vendrell and pampered by Maria Bigordà, father and son. This year, it is the project number 12 with an average production of 185 grams per each vine, and a total of 301 numbered bottles. We believe the Vendrell-Rived and Gran Anyada’s strong passion for this project is perfectly reflected with the explained details.

HOW TO SERVE IT

Decant the wine 1 hour before serving it. With the bottle at an angle pour the wine trying to keep the flow slow and steady, then slowly spin it counter-clockwise a couple of times and let it sit..
REMEMBER...
- Wines are always stored horizontally in a cool place where temperatures don’t go above 18ºC.
- The colour, its intensity and hue, can define the features and characteristics of the wine.
- It is important to open the bottles or decant them before consumption depending on the type of wine.
- The Montsant DO forms a “ring” and inside it we can find the Priorat QDO.
