Garnatxa de Cims de Porrera 2021

Varietals: Garnatxa

Zone: DOQ Priorat

In 1996, Cims de Porrera was born out because the abandonment of the centuries-old and native Porrera vineyard (Carignan and Grenache) that grows on slate soils, at an altitude of between 350-600 meters, a slope gradient of 40-50% and an average production of 300-500 gr. of grapes per vine. The difficult working conditions, together with the low economic profitability obtained by the winegrowers, caused the people of the town to abandon those vineyards.

The initiative for the recovery of these vineyards and the commitment to high quality wines was started together with the members of the village Cooperative, from whom Cims de Porrera buys the grapes. The result of the work of the Pérez Family and the winegrowers who have worked those lands for generations is Cims de Porrera: a path of recognition towards what we understand as “the very expression of Priorat”

This Garnatxa is 100% Grenache planted interspersed between the old Carignan vines.
