Wineries Vinyes Domènech

The winery is located in the municipality of Capçanes province of Tarragona, within the denomination of origin qualified Priorato. It is a family winery, which started the project in 2002. They decided to settle in this area because it is within a protected natural space.

The vineyards located at an altitude of between 450 and 500 metres above sea level are spread over the 15 hectares of land owned by the winery. The age of the vines is 70 years and the winery makes an ecological viticulture.

The grape used to make the wine was the Garnacha Peluda (autochthonous and almost disappeared from the area). It was sold by hand and at dawn to avoid the high temperature. They are transported in boxes of 15 kilos and quickly taken to the winery for the selection of bunches, destemming and then fermentation. The ageing takes place in French oak barrels for 14 months. Its production is very limited.
