About

Super prestige cuvee, made exclusively from 100 year old vines in the legendary Quisens and Carners vineyards.

Vines, like people, often reach their peak in the face of adversity. Our award-winning wines come from vines that struggle daily to survive in dense slate soils on steep hillsides. Their fruit offers a unique mineral complexity that could come from no other place on earth and has done so since Carthusian monks first planted vines in Priorat in the 12th century.

September 16th - October 5th 2007

GRAPES

71% Garnacha, 29% Cariñena
