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.
