About Winery and Wines
Saó del Coster is a winery that works organically and in the spirit of the biodynamy philosophy in Priorat. We respect the cycles of nature and refusse to use herbicides and pesticides at all cost. We offer tasting tours in several languages.
Since its inception, Saó del Coster has worked organically and traditionally: it respects the cycles of nature, carries out biodynamic treatments and the lunar calendar sets the guidelines for its agricultural and oenological work, ploughing with mules and prohibiting the use of motorized vehicles in the vineyards. It is a mystical challenge which seeks to recover a work method practically on the verge of extinction.
From the recovery of abandoned old vines from with low production, together with the purchase of grapes from neighboring producers who share the same values, we produce some 20,000 bottles a year. Small quantities allow full control over the winemaking process. The strength of an exceptional terroir such as that of Priorat allow vines of the varieties, among others, Garnacha and Cariñena, to remain productive even century old.
Our winery is located in a 19th century old house in the middle of the village of Gratallops, where the resurection of Modern Priorat took place.
For the visits, in English, French and German (in addition to Catalan and Spanish), booking in advance is recommended but you can take you chance and knock at our door. It include a guided visit of the winery and/or vineyards, as well as a tasting of our wines.
Saó del Coster works its lands in harmony, so as to express an elegant and honest vision of the Priorat through its wines. They are elaborated with native varieties, mostly Grenache and Carignan, some of which can be over 100 years old. The plots Planassos (vines from 1945) and La Pujada (vines from 1919) are located in the municipality of Gratallops, DOQ Priorat.
