The winery is called Domini de la Cartoixa (the priory’s domain), as these lands once belonged  to the Carthusian monks of Scala Dei Priory. The winery and its 11-hectare vineyard are located in the village of El Molar within the prestigious DOC Priorat and are owned by the family Perez-Dalmau.

The wines from the winery, Clos Galena, Galena, and Formiga de Vellut, are organically farmed and produced, duly certified by the authority CCPAE, the Catalan Council of Organic Production, the public watchdog responsible to the Ministry of Agriculture of the Catalan Government.
