The same dramatically tilted plateau where Dominik’s Les Manyes vineyard is situated is also the setting of another plot of Garnatxa, Els Montalts. It just happens to be right over the border between Priorat and Montsant. This four-hectare parcel of 45-year-old Garnatxa is more exposed and at a slightly higher elevation—a dizzying 800m. The ethereal florality of mountain-grown Garnatxa is captured in the deceptively pale-colored Marcenca, proving that Dominik and Tatjana can find the fulcrum of lightness and density even in a Mediterranean climate.
