The sun and climate are inseparable environmental factors insofar as their effect on wine is concerned. Accordingly, they condition the hydric and nutritional intake of the grapevines.

The low rainfall and fertility limit the plant’s hardiness, while also determining the type and quality of the wine.
The composition of soil, and nature, leave characteristic, unmistakable imprints.

In Priorat, the special qualities of vinegrowing are often linked to the small estates, where climatic conditions can become truly unique. Thus, especially in this area, terroir wine can acquire expressiveness and differentiated results.

The “Clos” wines of the Priorat are made from a very small area of land, a special micro-climate and vines of minimum age. The wine that is made from the grapes of these estates is unique, with traits all its own.

The study the various soils of each village, and even each different productive plot was indubitably a groundbreaking effort in Spain, and reinforces the guarantee of origin and quality.

Thus, the potential for production and elaboration of extremely high quality estate wines is a reality in the county, given the characteristics of the area, and the current orientation of the two Appellations of Origin and the winemakers.

From an enological standpoint, Priorat is now one of the areas with the greatest potential and expectations for the future, in terms of the high quality, style and personality of its wines; the reasons for its success.
