Small family-run winery located in the village of Porrera, D.O.Q. Priorat. The family Castellví-Figuerola renovated in 1999 the old family townhouse to accommodate the winery and start to make their own wines. They personally carry out the total process of the operation. They make wines from grapes sourced exclusively from their own estates, "Mas d’en Caçador" and "Mas d’en Ferran", which have been in the hands of the family over several generations dedicated to growing grapes sold to other wineries.
