2006 marked the beginning of Lagravera – a project that brought life back to a barren land from which gravel used to be extracted. The Arnó family decided to plant 12,62 hectares of vineyards, divided into 15 plots, and put sustainable agriculture into practice in order to recover the vineyard traditions of these lands.

Today, we are growing 8 different varietals, White Grenache, Red Grenache and the ancestral Trobat Negre among these.

The grapes from this vineyard are in the core of most of our wines: in Ónra White and Ónra Red as part of their multi-landscape rich blend, whereas in Lagravera Natural, Ciclic White, Ciclic Red and Solera they constitute their entire single-vineyard and single-variety character.

Visiting the 1,41 hectares of this vineyard is like revisiting 1889, when the Orpella family started planting on this estate. Rediscovered in 2011, this “small vineyard”, located next to the Farfanya River and cultivated on soils with a high clay percentage, contains 24 ancestral varietals such as Pyrenees and Heben. But our most surprising discovery were the X varietals: X8, X Avi 1997 and X Avi 2167, analyzed by the Catalan Institute of Vines and Wine (INCAVI) and unknown to the world to this day.

With the grapes from this vineyard, we are able to make the La Pell “Finca El Vinyet” white, red and claret wines, as well as our nanofermentations, allowing us to return to the wines first made by our ancestors.

From the highest point of this estate at an altitude of 700 meters, you can spot La Conca de Barberà and Priorat. Mas la Parra is our highest vineyard, which makes the wines from this plot fresher and provides them with a denser concentration of color.

Since we recovered this abandoned vineyard, we have been cultivating Tempranillo, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, which are all varietals already found on this estate, and we have planted White Grenache as well as the 24 ancestral varietals recovered from “El Vinyet”.

With the grapes from this estate and the Vinya Núria vineyard, we make landscape wines that allow us to taste the particularities of the different terroirs of La Serra Llarga.

This estate, which is protected by the Majos family, hides treasures still unnamed. As of today, we have analyzed and identified 9 grape varietals, mainly indigenous, and others that appear to be almost extinct.

Its grapes will be vinified in 2020 to produce a new style of Grand Cru plot wine: White/Red La Pell “Les Pedrisses d’Ivars” plot.
