Cims de Porrera Classic 2017

Variedades: Carinyena

Zona: DOQ Priorat

In 1996, Cims de Porrera was born out of concern for the abandonment of the centuries-old and native Porrera vineyard (Cariñena and Garnacha) that grows on slate soils, at an altitude of between 350-600 meters, a slope difference of 40- 50% and an average production of 300-500 gr. of grapes per plant. The difficult working conditions, together with the low economic profitability that the winegrowers obtained, caused the people of the town to abandon those vineyards.

The initiative aimed at recuperating these vines and making high quality wines was undertaken together with the members of the local cooperative, who Cims de Porrera buys the grapes from. The result of the work of the Pérez Family and the winegrowers who have worked these lands for generations is Cims de Porrera: a path of recognition towards what we understand as “the very expression of Priorat”
