ESSENCE OF PRIORAT
Porrera, a town located right at the heart of Priorat, is surrounded by steep “llicorrella” slopes, characteristic loose drab slate that gives character to these soils. It is in this environment where Els Igols is located, inherited name to honour the first vineyard plot that the grandfather of the Ametller family had to “mould” with hard work, effort and tenacity. These are some of the vines with the hardest cultivation conditions in the world, an example of heroic winegrowing under extreme conditions. The special interaction between these soils, the climate of the area that make these vines undergo great thermic contrasts and the varieties grown, make our wines unique.
In our vineyards the original garnacha variety is cultivated and given its character of old vineyards with vines between 60 and 70 years of age, production is very scarce reaching ½ kg per vine, which is used to elaborate Els Igols, essence of Priorat.
Our aim is to elaborate a good wine, honest and without wrappings. A wine that keeps the traces of its soil, climate and varieties, able to make you enjoy and feel our Priorat without any complex.
We share with you the result of our effort and dedication because we feel very proud of it. We have made this effort so that you have in your wine glass a unique wine, at least as good as the best.
Honest wines that keep the trace of the land
These wines represent the essence of Priorat, a harsh land, an environment of slate and vertiginous slopes where the work man has to do to obtain the fruit of the vine can be considered heroic, but that finally is converted into this treasure that gratifies us.
It is with great pleasure and pride that we offer you these wines for your enjoyment, to share special moments with them forgetting daily routines with a wine glass in your hands.
