The winery
The Bodega Crivellé i Valls represents the essence of winemaking tradition in the heart of Priorat. Founded in Poboleda, this small family-owned business stands out for its historical roots, with over four generations dedicated to vine cultivation.
The Mas d’en Gil estate, where centuries-old vineyards are located, is a symbol of dedication and love for wine. This project was born with the premise of producing high-quality wines, respecting the essence of the territory and the ancestral practices of Priorat.
Its facilities, located in a historic house in Poboleda, integrate old cellars that are now used for wine aging. With a limited and selective production, the winery focuses on harvesting its own vineyards, producing exclusive series that reflect the quality and unique character of Priorat.
Les Vinyes
The vineyards of Bodega Crivellé i Valls, family-owned, host vines up to 90 years old of Garnatxa and Cariñena/Sansón.
They are located in Poboleda and La Morera de Montsant, within the historic Mas d’en Gil estate, part of the DOQ Priorat.
The diversity of the vineyards is remarkable, with steep slopes and slate soils, as well as flatter areas with loam and slate soils.
A distinctive practice is selecting the best old vines for new grafts, maintaining the genetics of the oldest and most balanced varieties, even if this involves a more limited production.
The orientation of the vineyards takes advantage of the “Garbinada” sea breeze, contributing to a later ripening and freshness in the wines.
The land
Poboleda, the birthplace of the wines of Bodega Crivellé i Valls, is located in the heart of Priorat, in the northeast of the region. Situated near the Siurana River and surrounded by natural formations such as the Montsant mountain range, it enjoys a distinctive microclimate.
The “marinada” or “garbinada,” a cool summer breeze, moderates the temperature, providing ideal conditions for viticulture. Its northern geographic position, compared to other municipalities in the Priorat, results in a late harvest, beginning between 8 and 12 days later than in more western areas.
