THE WINE:

Finca La Planeta is six acres of mature Cabernet Sauvignon, planted in the gravelly mountain

terroir. Concentration of all factors is evident: minerals, herbs, black fruit and oak spice.

Distinctively clear-cut and elegant style for Priorat.

THE WINERY: The Pasanaus are perennial growers in La Morera, the highest municipality of Priorat, with

vineyards at over 2,400 feet elevation abutting the sheer rock wall of the Sierra de Montsant.

Gravelly scree eroded from the cliffs covers the underlying llicorella slate, together with the

elevation creating a less Mediterranean microclimate relative to the region as a whole.
