online wine tasting Devinssi PrioratFor many of us, lockdown is a challenge. And in the first months of release we do not know if we’ll be able to travel far from our homes. To see the vineyard landscapes, talk personally to people who turned winemaking into their passion…

That’s why we’ve thought of giving you this chance to see our grapevines live through customised visits to our vineyard. How can they be done?

When you buy 6 or more bottles of our DOQ Priorat / DO Montsant wine from our online shop, you can enjoy a discount.

Jordi UstrellAnd this bonanza goes further: you will also have a customised virtual visit to the vineyard, live with Jordi Ustrell.

Conditions:

  • Order paid at our online wine shop of at least 6 bottles.
  • Vineyard adopters: ask us for the customised promotion code.
  • Maximum runtime of the virtual tasting: 40 minutes.
  • Experience available in: Catalan, Spanish, English, French or Russian.
  • Contact us via mail or WhatsApp to fix the time.
  • USA, Sweden, Denmark, Russia, China: ask us where to find wines locally.

El juny és blader i el setembre raïmer. (June makes wheat, and September makes grapes. A Catalan saying)

Well yes, September 2015 seems to have adhered to what the saying states. Being one of the most important factors for successful grape harvest, the weather did its job and made the harvest slow down throughout the month. The obtained grapes were plentiful and healthy. We managed to crop all Grenach and Cabernet plus a share of Carignan (younger vines). Continue reading →

Pluja d’agost, safrà, mel i most. (August rain, saffron, honey and grape juice. A Catalan saying)

Some mild, heatless and very cloudy weather, with some occasional yet plentiful rains… Continue reading →

No és bon juliol, si el raïm no té verol (July isn’t fine if grapes don’t ripen. A Catalan saying)

Four weeks of sun and drought… A month that looked like August rather than July! Obviously, for young grapevines, this has been challenging and has left its imprint. On the other hand, the consistent heat ensured the control shot for the weeds at the vineyards, so weeding has gone ahead easily and smoothly. However, out of the blue, July saw a very wet closure: two days full of thunderstorms!  Continue reading →

June 2015: a dramatic month

We’ll remember this June forever! Both the physical and virtual environment have been quite tough with us.

Let’s begin with the nature. This June has been characterized by clearly summerlike weather, with many days of sunshine and heat. However, we couldn’t help a small hailstorm, which has affected some vines … So be it! The grape berries have been healed, so we are looking forward to July’s most exciting stage: the veraison, which is to begin shortly. Continue reading →
