Abat Domènech

Cesca Vicent · Priorat, Spain

Wine with personality, elegance, power and structure. Cabernet Sauvignon is the predominant variety, which was planted by Cesca in the 80s. Over the years the Cabernet has acclimatized to the terroir of Priorat and developed its own style. This is a full-body, concentrated wine with a mineral backbone. The wine shows intense aromas of baked fruits, cassis, red plum along with hints of violet, spice, and leather.
