Proprietary Blends
| Catalonia
Elegant and expressive, this Grenache-led blend combines red fruit purity with mineral depth and restraint. A beautifully aged Priorat from one of the region’s most thoughtful producers.
About The Producer
After obtaining a degree in Biology at the University of Barcelona then a subsequent degree in Enology, with an emphasis on biodynamic and organic viticulture, Ester Nin took a position at Mas Martinet in the village of Porrera in 2001. Raised in the Alt Penedes, she felt right at home in the Priorat and eventually became the viticulturist at Clos i Terrasses where she transitioned the vineyards to biodynamic farming. In 2004 Ester bought a 7 acre parcel of old vine Garnatxa and Carinyena in one of the highest sites in the Priorat. A few years earlier, Carles Ortiz from Barcelona, and a trained Enologist in his own right, had purchased 12 acres of vineyards outside of Porrera called Finca les Planetes. Both Carles and Ester were early proponents of biodynamics in the Priorat, both lived in Porrera and both were young and available and thus Familia Nin-Ortiz was born.
