Tasting Notes:

Coranya has been elaborated from 20-year-old vines. As a result, we get a very classy wine with good complexity. Marked notes of red, ripe fruits and spices with soft mineral tones. Well-integrated oak with silky tannins and a long and persistent finish.

Drink now or keep it for a few years.

THE WINERY SANGENIS I VAQUÉ

Since 1978, Pere Sangenís and Conxita Vaqué have been making wines in Porrera, combining tradition with new techniques. Today, their two daughters, María and Núria Sangenís, have also joined the team and, along with Pere, share the responsibility of producing great wines. 

The vineyards are located in the district of Porrera within the Priorat Qualified Designation of Origin, on the family-owned lands dating back to before 1700, on terraced hillsides formed by the famous “llicorella” (slate schist land). The combination of poor land and a dry climate (550 mm) results in minimal production and thus maximum quality.
