General Information
Bellmunt 2022 is the wine from Mas d’en Gil that showcases the youngest and freshest profile of the garnacha from Bellmunt del Priorat, a town in the south of the D.O.Q. that lends its name to the label. Garnacha, the queen variety of this prestigious wine region in Tarragona, dominates this fantastic red, complemented by cariñena.
Mas d’en Gil, a winery owned by the Rovira Carbonell family, selected for the creation of Bellmunt the best fruits from vines planted in that municipality between 1994 and 1998, in licorella soils. Both the viticulture and oenology applied in its production adhered strictly to biodynamic principles, including the use of wild yeasts during fermentation.
Bellmunt 2022 was perfected through 10 months of aging in French oak barrels and further refined with an additional 12 months in the bottle. After this time, it reveals itself as an open, vibrant, fresh, and light red on the palate, with a pronounced fruity sensation and a characteristic mineral touch, distinctive of the Mas d’en Gil style, one of the most prominent wineries in the D.O.Q. Priorat.
Tasting notes
In appearance, it displays a medium-intensity cherry red color.
The nose is dominated by aromas of citrus peel and woody spices such as licorice.
The palate attack is slightly unctuous, with a fresh and sweet finish.
The winery
Winery
Although its journey, as we know it today, began in 1998 when the ownership of the estate that gives it its name passed into the hands of the Rovira Carbonell family, the history of the winery Mas d’en Gil dates back to the second half of the 19th century.
Francesc Gil was the first owner of this 125-hectare estate (45 of which are vineyards), located 350 meters above sea level in the municipality of Bellmunt del Priorat, in what is now considered the southern area of the D.O.Q. Priorat. Over the years, the estate became part of the heritage of several families, including that of the modernist artist Santiago Rusiñol.
In the late 1990s, the Rovira Carbonell family acquired it and restored its historic name of Mas d’en Gil. Under the direction of Pepe Rovira, one of the great names in Penedès wine, the winery's first productions were launched on the market in the year 2000. Currently, the family business is led by his youngest daughter, Marta Rovira Carbonell, who has implemented organic farming throughout the estate, among other measures.
The grapes with which Mas d’en Gil produces its wines, mainly Garnacha and Cariñena, grow in vineyards spread across slopes of licorella among five valleys, Mediterranean forest, and plantations of olive, almond, and hazelnut trees. This particular terroir imparts a distinct typicity not only to their fantastic whites and reds but also to the exquisite oil and vinegar they additionally produce.
