Winemaker
A 9-hectare project on the llicorella slate terraces above Porrera — old-vine Garnatxa and Carinyena, whole-cluster, raised in concrete and old oak. The winemaker's name is shared with the Crew on enrollment; until then the platform stands behind the data, the track record, and the samples.
The history.
The terraces were abandoned in the 1960s and I bought three parcels in 2011 from farmers who thought Garnatxa was finished. The oldest vines date to 1898 — they survived phylloxera on the slate. We rebuilt the stone walls by hand.
What this vintage is showing so far.
“Llicorella holds the heat and releases it at night. That's the whole secret. April was warm. The oldest Carinyena is showing green on the terraces above the river.”

Philosophy.
Old vines, whole clusters, concrete. I don't want modern Priorat — the big extract, the new oak. I want what these terraces have always given: fresh, mineral, serious wine.
