Terroir
The Priorat terroir is unique, characterized by its poor, stony soil with a high presence of licorella, which imparts exceptional minerality to the wines. This environment, combined with the warm, dry climate, produces intense, structured wines with a depth that reflects the region's identity.
Winemaking process
After several ripeness checks, the vines are harvested manually, variety by variety, selecting only the healthiest clusters at their optimal maturity. The grapes are then fermented in small tanks for 21 days, followed by the blending (coupage) process. The wine is transferred to French oak barrels, where it matures for 14 months with periodic rackings. Finally, it is bottled, where it continues its aging and refinement process.
