THE WINERY
Cal Batllet produces wines exclusively from their own vineyards, planted mainly with the autochthonous varieties Grenache and Carignan on licorella soils.
From the 2009 vintage, Celler Cal Batllet elaborates all of the wines under the new appellation "Vi de la Vila" from Gratallops. The legislation introduced in 2009 by the DOQ Priorat recognises and protects each region’s different characteristics (viniculture, climate, soil, etc.) with the purpose of highlighting their particular characteristics.
