Bright, expressive, and bursting with energy, Perlat opens with aromas of fresh strawberries, raspberries, cherries, and a hint of grapefruit zest. As it unfolds, layers of licorice, wild Mediterranean herbs, balsamic notes, and sweet spice emerge from the glass. The palate is silky and medium-bodied, balancing juicy red and black fruit with fine-grained tannins and refreshing acidity. A distinct mineral streak carries through the finish, adding precision and lift to its ripe, sun-kissed fruit profile.
About the Winery/Winemaker | Cellers Unió has long been one of Catalonia’s most respected cooperative wineries, bringing together generations of growers dedicated to expressing the unique character of their vineyards. Perlat was one of the pioneering wines of the Montsant DO and helped establish the region’s reputation as one of Spain’s most exciting value-driven appellations. Located in the rugged hills surrounding the famed Priorat region, Montsant has quickly earned international acclaim for producing wines that combine Mediterranean richness with freshness, minerality, and authenticity.
Why We Love It | This is exactly the kind of wine that reminds us why Montsant has become one of Spain’s hottest wine regions. It offers many of the characteristics people love in neighboring Priorat—dark fruit, minerality, and complexity—at a fraction of the price. Perlat is approachable enough for a weeknight dinner but layered enough to impress serious wine lovers. It consistently punches above its weight and overdelivers in the glass.
