Guaranteeing Quality

Guaranteeing Quality

All wines which are sold under the Montsant name carry a numbered back label which guarantees its origin. But what is really behind this back label? Two rigorous sessions of quality control.

The first one takes place at INCAVI, the Catalan Vine and Wine Institute. Analysis is based on making sure that such things as alcohol level, acidity or the amount of sulphites each type of wine contains are within the parameters which the DO Montsant has previously established.

The second one is a sensorial test, which is carried out by a team of DO Montsant winemakers and INCAVI technicians. In a blind tasting, the committee studies the visual, aromatic, tast and back palate properties of each wine.  After  results are quantified, the team decides if the wine is apt or not.

A wine must pass both tests in order to be sold under the Montsant brand. The back label which guarantees this is our quality assurance mark.
