The Priorat D.O.C., Denominación de Origen Calificada appellation is located in Catalonia - Spain. In a magnificent and wild place, in stony and sometimes shallow soils, rich in schist and reflective quartz, the work of the Priorat grape varieties reveals an extreme finesse due mainly to the Grenache .
In this region, very hot in summer, cold in winter, the vineyards are located at different altitudes between 300m and 1000m which creates many microclimates with a rich potential.
For these white wines, the most common grape varieties are Macabeu and white Grenache, as well as Pedro-Jimenez and Viognier vines which remain anecdotal.
The new generation of winegrowers is very respectful of the terroir and the environment, most of them work in organic and biodynamic farming. The vines are ploughed with mules or horses, as on the Familia Nin-Ortiz, Venus la Universal and Sao del Coster estates.
