The palate is full-bodied with silky tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Familia Torres El Senat de Montsant is a high-quality, premium wine that represents the best of the Montsant region.

Tasting Notes

Luminous dark ruby red. Intense black fruit aroma (cherry jam) with echoes of ripe fig coming through, and a characteristic terroir-imparted mineral nuance. Seductive on the palate, with rich, juicy fruit extract, deep and persistent. A wine with personality.
