Inspired by nature
A red wine for all types of palates. A modern wine but with history.
From the D.O.Q. Priorat is one of the most privileged areas in the world to create wines with a unique personality.
our HISTORY
Benet Vall planted the first vineyards that at the end of the 19th century suffered from the phylloxera that changed the face of the villages and caused mass immigration to the city.
To give you an idea of the magnitude of the tragedy, in 1893 Torroja del Priorat had 852 inhabitants, that were reduced to 700 seven years later. It currently has 153 inhabitants.
SEVERAL GENERATIONS
The phylloxera forced the vines to be planted again, a task carried out by Cristòfol Vall with the subsequent help of his son Modesto Vall. Ramon Miró continues to cultivate the land in the middle of the 20th century and expand the family property, a task that has been carried out by his son Carles Miró Vall for some years now.
