The winery

Cims de Porrera

A project launched in 1996 to save the centenarian vineyards of Porrera that were being abandoned. It grew out of Josep Lluís Pérez’s Carignan trials at Mas Martinet and got started with the village cooperative. Today it is run by Adrià and Marc Pérez with some twenty growers. The vineyards are Carignan and Grenache on llicorella slate, at 350 to 600 metres, on slopes of 40 to 50%, with yields of 300 to 500 grams per vine.
