In the vineyard
Carefully selected vines that are forty or fifty years old, located in the highest part of the village of Batea, on a plot known as Las Sierras. Low-yielding vines.
In the winery
The grapes are destemmed, crushed and fermented in stainless steel tanks with native yeasts and with minimal intervention. The wine is then pumped over until the end of alcoholic fermentation. After that, the saignée method is used to place it into concrete tanks. It then spends 12 to 14 months in French oak before being bottled.
Cellar
Celler Batea
The relationship of the Tierra Alta with wine comes from the Phoenicians, who set up trade routes with various geographical points across the Iberian Peninsula.
And it was via the mouth of the River Ebro in the Mediterranean Sea that today's Batea, located less than fifty kilometres away, had its first contact with wine in the seventh century BC.
Do Terra Alta
The so-called Customs of Orta (1296) and Miravet (1319) already regulated the sale of wine from the region. But it wasn't until the late nineteenth century that winegrowing became widespread. With the phylloxera plague, the demand from producers for DO Terra Alta [1] grapes increased, first from the French and then from the neighbouring regions that today are DO Tarragona and DOQ Priorat. In the early twentieth century, the organisation of cooperatives was a revolution.

Un vi molt bo de la DO Terra Alta (Batea) amb la varietat pròpia d'aquelles terres, la garnatxa negra, i també la carinyena.
