The winery Viñedos de Cal Grau

Founded in 2003, Cal Grau is a small winery that maintains its family spirit and produces wines that reflect the Priorat's charism, its terroir and its licorella, its climate and its landscape.
Located in Finca la Solana, in the municipality of El Molar, Bodegas y Viñedos de Cal Grau currently has more than 40 ha, of which approximately 22 are dedicated to the vineyard. In order to maintain the balance of the farm, the winery has chosen to preserve its forests and ancient olive trees, which are integrated with the vineyards where they grow mainly Garnacha and Cariñena, but also other international varieties. After harvesting, all of them are processed in small tanks and they are aged in French wood separately, until the final assembly and tasting.
