Rebeldes Tinto Montsant 2025

Rebeldes is made in D.O. Montsant, in Tarragona, by the team behind the online wine club Wineissocial, working from a winery more than a century old. The blend brings together Garnacha, Cariñena and Syrah from young vineyards between the towns of Marcà and Masroig. Montsant wraps around the Priorat appellation and shares much of its character, with vines grown on a mix of clay, limestone and the licorella slate that gives the area's reds their mineral signature. The warm Mediterranean climate ripens Garnacha fully, while altitude and poor soils keep yields low and concentration high. This is an unoaked wine, made to show fruit and place rather than barrel, so the focus stays on ripe red and dark berry character and the savoury grip of the soils. It pours a deep, vivid red, with raspberry, dark plum and cherry on the nose lifted by black pepper and a stony, mineral edge from the slate. The palate is ripe and direct, medium to full bodied, with soft tannins and a fresh, savoury finish. Serve at 16 degrees, with grilled meats, charcuterie or a tomato based pasta.
