Wonderful tour and tasting
We were new to the old Carignan grapes and particularly enjoyed those wines and blends. For a casual guy, his attention to detail in the whole shows through. Even the nibble had the best Iberican ham I have had in Spain.

Una reunion privada y personalizada con Patrick
Me quede con ganas de probar los vinos mas selectivos aunque hubiera tenido que pagar un poco mas.

Correcto
Ahora bien, hubo ciertos aspectos que nos sorprendieron negativamente. Al hacer la reserva elegí que la visita fuera en catalán, ya que la bodega está en Catalunya y la web daba la opción de escogerlo. Sin embargo, la persona que nos hizo la guía y presentó las bodegas no lo hablaba.
Por otro lado, durante la explicación notamos que la atención estuvo mayormente dirigida hacia mí (hombre) en lugar de repartirse de manera equilibrada también hacia mi pareja. Esto nos hizo sentir un poco incómodos, ya que la experiencia es algo que compartimos los dos por igual. Sería genial que en futuras ocasiones se procure involucrar a todos los asistentes de manera equitativa, ya que así la vivencia resulta mucho más completa.
Por lo demás, es una cata y una visita muy recomendable, interesante y con una excelente relación calidad-precio.
Creo que la guía fue estuvo muy bien si no fuera por esas dos cosas que, des de mi punto de vista, necesitan un cambio. Muchas gracias.

An memorable introduction to Priorat wines
Definitely try La Pujada… it’s an exceptional wine with an interesting history.

Das Priorat ist ein Mosaik aus kleinen, sehr steilen Parzellen, deren Boden nur aus mehr oder weniger zermahlenem Schiefer besteht. Die Erträge (100 bis 500 g pro m2) sind entsprechend der Größe der Parzellen winzig und die meisten Arbeiten im Weinberg werden von Hand erledigt. Also ja, das wirkt sich auf die Preise aus. Aber drei Weine in einem Weingut, vor allem in unserer Größe (15'000 Flaschen pro Jahr/5 Weine), unter EUR 30 zu finden, ist dennoch eine Leistung, da die meisten Weingüter insgesamt nur zwei oder drei Weine produzieren.
Die teuren Weine sind allesamt Spezialcuvées (Alineá) oder Weine in den Jahrgängen 2015/2016 (Planassos und La Pujada), die auf über 75 Jahre alten Rebstöcken mit miserablem Ertrag produziert werden. Außerdem sind es Weine, die internationale Auszeichnungen sammeln.
Bis bald im Priorat
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.
The strength of the terroir is present in the wines
Pim Pam Poom 100% grenache,
S der Saó 55% grenache/45% carignan,
Terram 55% grenache/35% carignan, the rest is Cabernet sauvignon and Syrah, 12 months of barrels,
Planassos and La Pujada 100% carignan 18 months of barrel.
