Varieties: Carinyena

Zone: DOQ Priorat

In 1996, Cims de Porrera was born from the concern for the abandonment of the centenary and native vines of Porrera (Cariñena and Garnacha) that grow on slate soils, at an altitude of 350-600 meters, a slope gradient of 40-50% and an average production of 300-500 gr. of grapes per plant. The tough work conditions, combined with the low rate of return for winegrowers, forced landowners to abandon their 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 Priorat’s own expression”.
