CELLER GRITELLES (GRITELLES WINERY)

About Winery and Wines

The valley formed by the Montsant and Gritelles mountains in the northeast of the Priorat region offers very particular conditions for growing vines and ripening grapes.

Our vineyards are located in Priorat and draw on the essence of the territory of Montsant and the Serra de les Gritelles, in the Cornudella de Montsant valley, at the origins of the Siurana river. The soils are clay, rolled pebbles, racorell and lime. We have a range of wines from the Montsant region from the Macabeo, Grenache and Carignan grape varieties.

Our semi-aged and aged wines follow a rigorous process of selecting the best grapes from old vines. Our barrel vinification conditions allow us to obtain the best from time and micro-organisms, from fermentation to aging of the wine.
