The wine
Well-known and admired among wine-lovers, Mas d’en Compte Blanc is an atypical white wine with a well-defined personality and a proven capacity to age elegantly. The slate soils of Porrera in the Priorat region, home to the family winery Celler Cal Pla, give the wine a subtle minerality. One of the most sought-after wines from Priorat, its excellent quality means it gains in prestige with every year that passes.
