Fort Cop de Ma, also known as Cop de Ma Fort, is a bold red wine from Spain’s Priorat region, an area renowned for producing some of the country’s most intense and age-worthy wines. Priorat is a rugged landscape of steep terraced vineyards planted on distinctive llicorella slate soils. These soils, poor in nutrients and rich in minerals, stress the vines and force them to dig deep for survival, resulting in grapes of great concentration and character.

The wine itself is typically a blend dominated by Grenache and Carignan, often supported by Syrah and other international varieties depending on the vintage. It shows the hallmarks of Priorat: dark fruit richness, layers of spice, a touch of earth and minerality, and a firm structure that gives it both power and balance. Alcohol levels are naturally higher in this region, so the wine carries warmth alongside its intensity.

Cop de Ma Fort is crafted in a style that emphasizes both strength and drinkability. It has enough muscle to pair with hearty dishes such as grilled meats, roasts, or rich stews, yet it retains an accessibility that allows it to be enjoyed without decades of cellaring. The name itself, suggesting a “strong blow of the hand,” captures the spirit of the wine: forceful, uncompromising, but shaped with purpose. This is a bottle that embodies the essence of Priorat—raw landscape transformed into concentrated elegance in the glass.
