SOLID FOUNDATIONS
Artigas is a vintage from vines that are mainly between 10 – 35 years old. Some of the Carignan vines are even 90 years old!
80% of the grapes are produced in Bodegas Mas Alta’s own vineyard. The rest come from rented or purchased vines.
PLANT FOCUSED
Our plots are located at altitude and solely on schist soil. The planting stock is taken from sélections massales of old Carignan, Syrah, Grenache and Cabernet vines.
We do not harvest any grapes during the first three years after planting. Instead, we concentrate on the formation of each vine. We then ensure that each plant is balanced. The aim is to obtain a vine which will ensure quality production. Winter pruning, debudding and thinning are processes that are carried out depending on each vine stock. A vine is a group of individuals, all of whom are different.
ALL ABOUT ARTIGAS
The blend is mainly made up of grenache, carignan and cabernet. The authentic nature of the regions chosen for the young plantings and the daily efforts of our wine growers make Artigas a genuine and delightful invitation to enjoy our vision of Priorat.
