About the wine

By Spanish standards, the Priory is a rather small wine region with just under 1500 ha. It has the advantage of a Mediterranean-continental climate, which is very suitable for viticulture. In addition, there are the very barren slate soils, which bear the name Licorella in Catalonia. The vines, up to 140 years old, grow on steep slopes and usually yield a very small yield. Christopher Cannan is considered one of the pioneers of the priory. Back in the 90s, he made a name for himself with the Clos Figueras winery.
