 Since the beginning of time, the lands of D.O. Montsant have lived harmoniously with human activities and their respect for the environment. This respect even reaches the spiritual realms, as the Montsant mountain range has been and to a certain extent still is a refuge for people searching to cultivate spiritual aspects of their lives. Just as the hermits, who honoured the name of this mountain range, and who have lived there since the twelfth century.
The Romans had already started making wine in these lands. Yet it was the Carthusian monks who really developed the cultivation of the vine throughout the region. In the nineteenth century, wines from the lands of Montsant gained awards and recognition in universal exhibitions all around the world.
The countryside and its wine go hand in hand in the D.O. Montsant and have done so for centuries. It is a land where old vines, painstakingly looked after by their owners, have come to represent History with a capital “H”. This History is slowly evolving, with renewed enthusiasm towards a promising future.
