THE WINERY

Founded in the early 1990s, Celler Vall Llach is located in the village of Porrera in the highly acclaimed Priorat wine region.

The Celler owns a selection of magnificent old estates—known locally as trossos—planted with 60 to 90-year-old Carignan and Grenache vines and located on steep slate hillsides, receiving optimum sun exposure at a considerable height above sea level and unable to retain water.

Vall Llach cultivates their old vines according to traditional methods without the use of machinery. Additionally, they carefully purchase grapes to complement their stocks, selecting them for their quality from some of the oldest and most reputable farms in the Porrera and Torroja areas.

In the early 1990s, the winery started with some new plantations intended to complete the cellar’s wine production. The varieties chosen were Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah. A very limited part of these varieties will then be used to complete and soften the complexities and taste of their signature wine, Vall Llach. Although mainly the grapes from these new plantations will be used for the production of the Embruix, the 3^rd wine of the winery, another part, also of extremely high quality, will help to define the second house wine: Idus de Vall Llach.
