About Winery and Wines

It all started with the ambition of a restless man, Juan de Porcioles, who had always dreamed of living in the country, cultivating the land and raising his own livestock … So it was that, in 1992, the Porcioles-Buixó family bought the property.Since then, the estate has been developed with hard work and enthusiasm, and endowed with its own character and singularity. Today, it is known as Finca de Flix.At the same time, Juan de Porcioles, a great lover of wine, gradually developed the idea of cultivating his own vineyard to produce wines with a distinct personality and of the highest quality. So, in 1998, and with the help of friends and family, he planted the first vineyard, Vinya Vella, by hand, prompting the recovery of winegrowing in the region.This was quite a project, which, today, thanks to his wife and children, is becoming a reality. In the old days, the stables and the food supplies of the Earls of Urgell (798-1413 were located in these lands in Flix, Ribera del Sió. Now we have designed a viticulture project addressed to obtain hight quality wines with all the nuances and flavours that the rich soil and microclimate of the riverside offer us.) It is a property of impressive beauty, a place of quietness and tranquillity that also includes the growing of olive trees and cereals, sheep and cattle raising and game preserve. They are different elements of a comprehensive project designed to achieve a perfect ecological balance.
