Vineyard
The Priorat area is of volcanic origin, which gives its soils unique features. The soil is acid, poor in organic matter but rich in slate. Our vineyards located in La Morera de Montsant (Priorat) are surronded by the cliffs of the Montsant Range and the huge rock Roca de les Dotze (1,100 m.), known as a giant sundial. Standing at 700 m. above sea level, organically grown in silty, loamy clays and slate soil 45,000 vines offer us the best expression of their fruits.
