La Vinya Del Vuit

La Vinya del Vuit was created in Gratallops, Priorat by eight friends. Winemaking couple Rene Barbier Jr. and Sara Perez, and the rest of the group, took advantage of the extremely old vines on these schist-filled hills to create an extraordinary wine at a very limited quantity. Grapes are hand harvested and very carefully transported to the winery for sorting and crushing. Fermentation with native yeasts starts naturally and may take up to a month in 500-liter, open-top tanks. The grapes are then crushed again before being racked (by gravity) into French barriques.
