Merchant's description
Starting with 11 hectares of vineyards in 1999, Miguel Pérez Cerrada has made Domini de la Cartoixa a leading light in Priorat. Formiga de Vellut is an intense cherry red wine. It has a complex aroma, where red and black fruits stand out, combining with balsamic and spicy notes. On the palate it is a full and powerful wine, with a fleshy and velvety finish, where ripe and fresh tannins are present. Clos Galena
