Tart, slightly dry-herbal aroma of berry tobacco mixed with slightly meaty, earthy and peppery notes. Clean, ripe and fairly concentrated, juicy fruit with nutty and slightly smoky tones, some bite and youth, relatively fine tannins, a touch of mushroom and earth in the background, traces of cedar and tobacco, long lasting, restrained power, dried Mediterranean herbs on the palate, a bit of chocolate and juniper, some depth, very good, fairly firm finish. Incredible quality for the price.

Vats with a capacity of 28,000 hectoliters and a bottling line of 2,500 bottles/hour were installed as a preamble to start exports in 1970. Around 2001 Unió participates in the constitution of the Montsant Denomination of Origin and soon after "Perlat" is born; today our wines are present in more than 30 countries around the world.
