VINYA N\u00daRIA<\/div><\/div>
WHERE EVERYTHING BEGAN<\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

2006<\/strong> marked the beginning of Lagravera \u2013 a project that brought life back to a barren land from which gravel used to be extracted. The Arn\u00f3 family decided to plant 12,62 hectares of vineyards, divided into 15 plots<\/strong>, and put sustainable agriculture into practice in order to recover the vineyard traditions of these lands.<\/p>\n

Today, we are growing 8 different varietals<\/strong>, White Grenache, Red Grenache and the ancestral Trobat Negre<\/strong> among these.<\/p>\n

The grapes from this vineyard are in the core of most of our wines: in \u00d3nra White and \u00d3nra Red<\/strong> as part of their multi-landscape rich blend, whereas in Lagravera Natural, Ciclic White, Ciclic Red and Solera<\/strong> they constitute their entire single-vineyard and single-variety character.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

EL VINYET<\/div><\/div>
MYSTICAL VINES<\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Visiting the 1,41 hectares<\/strong> of this vineyard is like revisiting 1889<\/strong>, when the Orpella family started planting on this estate. Rediscovered in 2011, this \u201csmall vineyard\u201d, located next to the Farfanya River<\/strong> and cultivated on soils with a high clay<\/strong> percentage<\/strong>, contains 24 ancestral varietals such as Pyrenees and Heben<\/strong>. But our most surprising discovery were the X varietals: X8, X Avi 1997 and X Avi 2167<\/strong>, analyzed by the Catalan Institute of Vines and Wine (INCAVI) and unknown to the world to this day.<\/p>\n

With the grapes from this vineyard, we are able to make the La Pell \u201cFinca El Vinyet\u201d white, red and claret<\/strong> wines, as well as our nanofermentations, allowing us to return to the wines first made by our ancestors.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

From the highest point of this estate at an altitude of 700 meters<\/strong>, you can spot La Conca de Barber\u00e0 and Priorat. Mas la Parra is our highest vineyard, which makes the wines from this plot fresher<\/strong> and provides them with a denser concentration of color.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since we recovered this abandoned vineyard, we have been cultivating Tempranillo, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon<\/strong>, which are all varietals already found on this estate, and we have planted White Grenache as well as the 24 ancestral varietals recovered from \u201cEl Vinyet\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With the grapes from this estate and the Vinya N\u00faria vineyard, we make landscape wines that allow us to taste the particularities of the different terroirs of La Serra Llarga.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

A VINEYARD WITH HIDDEN TREASURES<\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

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.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Its grapes will be vinified in 2020 to produce a new style of Grand Cru plot wine: White\/Red La Pell \u201cLes Pedrisses d\u2019Ivars\u201d plot.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
