Sobre la bodega y los vinos

Meritxell Garden... The sun We have different soils in the 5 estates, all with the presence of licorella, this laminated and brittle stone of black and darkened copper colours, between which the roots penetrate. The soils are shallow, usually with a single horizon, and immediately (at about 10-15 cm) the parent rock is already found, they have a low content of organic matter and are mostly formed by the disintegration of slates, so so the roots go several meters in search of moisture, water and nutrients. The soil is worked without pesticides by ploughing with a tractor or motor cultivator on the coasts and clearing manually where the machines do not pass to control the weeds. This land gives us small productions of tremendously expressive wines, with a powerful personality marked by the poverty of the land, the rigorous climate and the flavour of the terroir. The vineyard The estates owned are worked following a system that respects the environment, with the minimum of treatments, sulfur powder and copper sulfate powder. Always working as our ancestors did, following the lunar cycles in fieldwork, winter pruning, green pruning, ploughing and on the harvest date we try to find a fruit or flower day in the lunar calendar. The moon We know for sure that the influence of the moon is expressed in wine according to how we act in the vineyard and in the wine. Therefore, we can and do weed in the waning and waning moon avoiding the proliferation of new shoots and wait for the waning moon to harvest to improve the aging of the wine. We will make the wine movements on the rising and waxing moon simultaneously and bottle on the waning moon.

The wines we like are clean, frank and round in the mouth, which inspire and transport you to the estate in question and this is what we try to embody in every wine we make.

Nita is a young wine representative of the Priorat, as it is made with wines from young, old, bottled and vinified vineyards from different soils and villages of the DOQ. Priorat

Magran – Partida Les Manyetes, is the estate wine we have in Partida Les Manyetes de Gratallops. A 100% Grenache wine, which very frankly reflects the area it comes from and the work that goes into it. The name Magran comes from a family story in which an ancestor, playing cards, won a large hand of 200 duros which he divided among his brothers, and each started his own business. This is how the renowned Cal Magran was left to them.

The rancid wine is made with grandfather Micola's Grenache, it is a grape from a Gratallops estate located in Partida Camp d'en Piqué. This Garnacha wine is put into old 2.5-liter glass bottles and left in the sun and in peace for 3 months. Then, the wine goes into the barrel where the mothers of the rancid are and where it is aged with the other vintages. Each year, we will bottle a third of the barrel.
