Heretge is a wine that pays tribute to the vine growers of Priorat. A mountain wine of heroic viticulture that breaks the winery’s traditional creed by presenting itself as a monovarietal Carignan. A heresy that shows us a different path to reach heaven.

2023 vintage has been the earliest in the history of Scala Dei, with the harvest beginning in the last week of August due to extreme heat and drought. This advancement contrasts with the traditional September schedule or the October harvests of the 1970s. Despite initial forecasts, production remained resilient thanks to the altitude and nocturnal coolness that allowed the vines to recover, especially in the vineyards of La Morera del Montsant, where yields even increased. The resilience of the local Garnatxa, a providential 80 liters of rainfall in June, and the water-retention capacity of the clay soils were key to mitigating the drought and ensuring the quality and balance of the grapes.
