Cellers de Scala Dei — Attraction in la Morera de Montsant

The winery itself was good, however I would highly suggest that you do not ship wine back to the States. It was a nightmare experience between the winery messing up and not forwarding the correct email address to the wine shipper for payment and processing. The winery was a bit rude to me at first through emails and then corrected themselves when they realized they made the error. The third party wine shipper never updated me that they didn’t ship wine in August due to the heat and then they handed off the wine to UPS in the states after they finally shipped it. I would not be home to sign for it so I had UPS change it to their UPS location for pickup and paid for the change. Unfortunately they could not process this and kept delivering to my house and the wine almost got sent back to Spain. I suggest buying some bottles there and bring them...

I was late arriving due to road works. I was provided a brief tour, backed by a constant flow of accurate information. Being late arriving (4.20pm) I was concerned I was going to be rushed but that was ABSOLUTLY not the case. Natalia (& Paul) supervised the tasting and went above and beyond in every aspect of the visit. I came away with an new understanding of the impact of vintage and it might not just be the weather but the handling of the wine. No room for Grand Reserva ranking here - Its concrete!!!

If your serious about your wine put this on your list BUT make an appointment in advance. This is not Russian River CA where you just drop in. Great Job...

We had a great tour & wine tasting here in late January with Natalie. We were the only two people, so were able to ask questions and come away with a good understanding of the history, geology and enology of the Priorat and of Scala Dei. The spaces themselves were interesting, including a massive cellar still bearing the burn marks from a Civil War ammunition explosion. The tasting was equally enlightening, and we would highly recommend the experience to others. Natalie was one of the best and most approachable guides...
