Vinyes Domenech

Vinyes Domènech is located in the south of the county of Priorat (Montsant DO), between the mountains of La Serra de Llaberia and Montalt and situated in a protected natural space of great beauty and ecological value at an altitude of 450 metres and 10km from the sea. It is a plain surrounded by mountains, pine and holly oak forests and a mediterranean undergrowth boasting a unique landscape.

It was founded in 2002 by the Domènech family, with the goal of preserving and improving the natural heritage of the estate by creating a wine-making project that embodies the landscape and biodiversity of the environment, maintaining its unique ecosystem.
In 2015, as a result of dedicated work, Teixar was recognized as “Vi de Finca” (Gran Cru, Single Vineyard Wine) by Incavi and D.O. Montsant.

Vinyes Domènech’s various terroirs are between 200m and 500m above sea level and together they form 90 parcels with a wide diversity of soils in which our Grenache and Carignan grapes express the essence of each parcel. We preserve these vines with microvinification techniques until the very end of the winemaking process so that every wine takes us back to their beginnings; expressing the altitude, orography, microclimate and the landscape that surrounds them.
The dominant geological materials are limestone and dolomite with layers of chalk, marl, and clay that appear in different areas of the property. The soil is found on mountain slopes which range from 10-35% moderate to steep “Costers” (the local name for steeply sloping bush-vine vineyards), which are mainly north-south facing. The uppermost vineyards, near the forest.
