The red wine Perlat Crianza 2008 from Cellers Unio in Montsant is a very good table wine at a fair price. The wine is made from Grenache, Carignan (Mazuela) and Syrah. The wine was some months in French and American oak. The wine goes well with white meat or matured cheese.
The region Montsant is very close to Priorat.
