THE PROJECT
"Deunido" is the result of Christian Barbier's personal project, starting in 2019 in a vineyard, Finca “La Coma”, located in the middle of the forest in the village of La Figuera (DO Montsant), with 40-year-old vines of black grenache growing on white clay soils at 600 metres in altitude. Here in this idyllic environment, is where this impressive first vintage by Christian is born.
Christian Barbier Meyer has had the best ever formation in the wine-making business. Having grown up in one of the most well-known families of winemakers from the Priorat area, he is the youngest of the Barbier’s family; his father is considered almost a Priorat legend; René Barbier from Clos Mogador and his brothers are all producing beautifully wines in the region, each reflecting their own personalities in the wines.
For Christian, making wine has come naturally. Christian has grown up among nature, on a llicorella-based terroir inhabited by a great diversity of plants and animal life. From here, his great passion and respect for the environment reflect clearly in his winemaking and his practice of sustainable and balanced agriculture.
