The small production consists of pure Carignan sourced from low-yielding over 80-year-old vines from a single plot, just 1.8 hectares planted on sloped, high-altitude hillsides made up of licorella soil and south-facing. The vines are located in the municipal district of the village of Torroja, within the appellation of Priorat.

Production:

The vinification starts mainly with the handpicking of the fruits. Then the grapes are carefully handsorted, eliminating any overripe or unwanted grapes. Whole clusters fermented in tanks with natural yeasts. The wine ages in a third-use 3500-litre oak "foudre" (oval cask) for about 24 months before being bottled under gravity without finning or filtration.

Tasting notes:

It has a darker fruit complexity with a black fruit graphitic edge and smoky and toasted notes for this elegant, creamy, fresh, and balanced wine.
