Cellers Grifoll Declara Gran Predicat Blanc de Bota 2018 Priorat

Grenache / Garnacha Blanc 100%

The vineyard is located on a very steep slope, with slate soils at 340m - 400m above sea level.

Vineyard management is carried out with respect for the environment, without any use of pesticides or herbicides.

Grapes are harvested by hand, packed in small sterilised crates and arrive in the winery within 3 hours of having been removed from the vine. The grapes have a 3 day maceration period before fermentation in oak barrels using natural yeasts. The wine is aged on the lees in oak barrels for 15 months before bottling.

The Grifoll family have been producing wine since 1736. In 1880 they moved to commercial wine production with the establishment of the Grifoll Declara cellars. The business is still family owned today, with the 5th generation of the family now running the operation.

In 2016 Wine Enthusiast Magazine identified Cellers Grifoll Declara one of the 28 best wineries in Spain
