René Barbier, descendant from a known family of French Winemakers, came to the Priorat when the wines from this area were still totally unknown. He bet successfully on the recovery of this unique region and became the first of the pioneers of the new reds from the Priorat. In 1979 he bought a small property of 20 hectares in Gratallops where he planted Grenache, Carignan, Syrah and a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon. With that the journey of Clos Mogador began. Continuously inspired by this region, René tries to capture in his wines its unique flavour, giving room to a “Vino de finca”. Vino de finca is a different qualification, which is a further degree of quality augmenting the existing DOQ Priorat, guaranteeing that all the grapes used for this vintage, and those of the past 5 years, come entirely and exclusively from the Domaine Clos Mogador. Later, between Manyetes (Vi de vila Gratallops) and Nelin (white), he acquires approximately 20 hectares more. Always haunted by the terroir, Rene tries to capture in his wines the classical of the area.

The height, soil and orientation of the vineyards give each one of our parcles their own identity to the wines of Marco Abella. Our philosophy is to ensure that each wine expresses its authenticity, typicalness and essence being totally respectful of the environment. The wines of Marco Abella are a clear expression of this land that gives them life.

 The last three generations of both families have closely followed the development of the most deeply ingrained viticulture tradition of Priorat. Leaving the respective families' old cellars, the new cellar Balaguer i Cabré, where our wines are presently elaborated, is located in the oldest part of Gratallops in a refurbished ancient building especially equipped for the purpose which, besides the elaboration plant, contains the centuries' old house original aging cellars and a tasting room with magnificent views of the vineyards and surrounding area. Our philosophy is: "A vineyard, a grape, a wine", and we are the only winery in Priorat that only produces monovarietals of grenache.
 

A new winery in Priorat, small, mysterious, located on the town of El Lloar. If you like wine come to visit Clos 93, taste the new wine "L'interrogant" and we will unveil its secret.

The origins of Cellers de Scala Dei go back to the nineteenth century when, following Mendizabal’s disentailment of church lands, some local families acquired the lands of the monastery of Scala Dei and became the pioneers of bottling wine in Priorat. The facilities are located in old buildings of the Carthusians. The aging cellar is a XVII century building, situated in the landmark building where lived the procurator of the monastery.
 

The Domènech family from Falset wanted to recuperate one of the most emblematic domains in the Priorat, in order to discover new things and to create new wines. The cellar was founded in 2002 and is situated in one of the most famous regions in the world for red wines: Capçanes - Priorat - Spain. It is our passion to share our wines "Teixar" and "Furvus" with winelovers from all over the world.

Visit to the winery, wine tasting
Our artisan winery is located in the village of Gratallops. Here, you can get an insight into Priorat handcraft wine making. Taking pictures is strongly recommended. The winery has a large indoor space, where we usually host numerous groups for wine tastings, wine-and-food pairings and other creative activities related to wine tourism. It is here that you can get the detailed information about Grapevine Adopters Club membership with Celler Devinssi.

Visits to the vineyard
Celler Devinssi offers trips to our vineyards outside Gratallops overlooking picturesque views of the village, the Montsant mountain, the Hermitage and the Southeast of the district of Priorat. You certainly should bring a camera with you to get some memorable snapshots. Vineyard scenery is just lovely all year round: in winter with schist slabs glittering and grass sprouting, in spring with vines burgeoning, in summer when vines flourish and ripen towards the grape harvest, in autumn when vineyards liven up with reddish and yellowish colours.

This project was begun in 2004 by a group of friends with the aim of offering a modern vision of the Priorat, though based on respect and preservation of the traditional wine culture. The cellar, located in a village house, still has the vaulted ceilings of the traditional wineries in the region.

Five generations of the Capafons-Ossó family have dedicated themselves to the cultivation of vines and the production of wine. Each of these generations has contributed its labour and skills to extract the best quality wine from the vines, from the great-grandparents who worked the lands of Mas de Masos, to the young growers and winemakers of today’s generation. The wine tastings take place in the old renovated farm house, Ca la Rossa.
