Small project started in 2016 by three young local entrepreneurs, Susanna, Sergi and Roger. A young team that has proved a nice success of making wine while enjoying the challenge and passion that has been transmitted to them since their childhood, having grown up between vines, from their own families dedicated to the wine business. They made monovarietal wines from the black and white Grenache, the autochthonous variety par excellence and the most planted in the Terra Alta area, a viticultural area to the south in the province of Tarragona, here the vines enjoy the balance of the Mediterranean climate with continental influence, low pluviometry and soils composed of chalky-clay very poor in organic matter, that creates the perfect growing environment of the Grenache.

They work their own land, vines between 25 and 35 years-old located in the village of Batea, at an altitude of 350-450 meters. At the moment they are making their wines at a friend’s Celler until they make a reality the building of their own Celler.
