Buy Wine from Portal del Priorat
Portal del Priorat is the body and soul of Alfredo Arribas, its founder and commander, a project born in 2001 at El Molar village, between Lloar and Bellmunt, in the heart of the designation of origin Priorat. Because Alfredo, architect, has a passion for wine, especially for Rhone wines, we could describe him as the Chapoutier in Priorat district.
His wanderings date back to 2004 when he starts Portal del Montsant winery, which will be sold years later to Ramón Raventós, Parxet owner. Beginnings were hard, we can still recall those times when Alfredo went to the best Catalan restaurants with his excellent collection of Brunus and Bruberry wines. His wines quickly drew attention and his project give rise to feelings of envy among the other wine makers of the area. Can an architect be Montsant's leader?
With an unrestrained enthusiasm to penetrate the international market, he purchased Clos del Portal estate, with 14 vineyard hectares over hills and terraces in a mineral soil full of rusty slate. With moderate soil and climate, these old vines are gobled planted, its varieties are: Garnacha, Cariñena, Syrah, Cabernet Franc and Monastrell. What about his wines? Portal del Priorat collection is only consisting on four red wines with one aim: to break the current fashion of Priorat wines defined by strength and aggressiveness. For until now, Priorat wines have been so. Alfredo, a perfectionist man, pursues elegance and subtlety in a harsh zone. His wines have a different concept! Why shouldn't Priorat wines be more easy and drinkable?
Without further ado, Portal del Priorat wines are like this: Gotes del Priorat is synonymous to fresh wine. A paradox in such a harsh, dry and steep land. Negre de Negres is Garnacha essence from licorella soils. A mineral, fine wine… Flavoursome! And Tros de Clos comes from a slope of 100 years old Cariñena vines. With Tros de Clos you will reach for the sky!
Portal del Priorat... Priorat's Chapoutier!
