The Sangenis family, one of the oldest grape-growing families in Catalan DOQ Priorat, historically sold their grapes to the local cooperative. In 1996, Joan Sangenís completed his oenology studies, and began Celler Cal Pla to bottle under their own label.
Based in the village of Porrera in Priorat, they own 20 hectares of south facing vineyards (at an altitude of 300-400m and topsoil called Llicorella ) with an average age of 50 years and several small parcels of 100+ year old vines of Garnacha and Carignan. Farming is done organically, harvesting is by hand.
The grape varieties are all from a single parcel, 30-90 years old vine. Mostly destemmed (30% stems), and aged 14 months in used French oak. It is a beautiful wine that has a pretty, perfumed bouquet of violets, rose petals, road tar, and blueberries. This carries to a medium to full-bodied, elegant red that has good acidity, ample fruit, and a great finish. Its tannins are nicely integrated, everything is in the right place.
