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

The vineyards are located in the district of Porrera, in the family owned lands since before 1700, within the Priorat Qualified Designation of Origin, on terraced hillsides, formed by the famous “llicorella” (slaty schist land). Very poor land combined with a dry climate ( 550 mm) provides minimal production and therefore maximum quality.

Tasting Notes:  Mature black fruits with spice, good mineral character, soft textured and fleschy with an earthy berry fruits touch on the lengthy finish.
