Get to know: Celler Masroig Les Sorts Jove Montsant
A vibrant and juicy Spanish red wine from the rugged hills of Montsant, made from a classic blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Carignan.
Tasting Note
Les Sorts Jove is a youthful and expressive red that bursts with fruit-forward charm. Deep ruby in colour, it offers aromas of ripe strawberries and raspberries layered over a subtle creamy note – a hallmark of its partial carbonic maceration. On the palate, this Montsant red is fresh and supple, with soft tannins and an easy-drinking, rounded texture. The juicy Grenache brings brightness, the Carignan adds depth, and the Syrah ties it together with a hint of spice. The finish is smooth, fruity, and moreish – an effortlessly enjoyable Spanish red perfect for relaxed evenings.

"There’s something so impressive about how pure and vibrant the fruit is in this wine – it’s bursting with energy from the first sip. That juicy red berry character feels so alive, you can almost taste the warmth of Montsant in every glass."
Producer Info
Celler Masroig is a historic cooperative based in the village of El Masroig, in the heart of Montsant.
