Information
LaGravera is where heritage meets Biodynamics Our vineyards thrive on gypsum-rich soils, part of La Serra Llarga, Europe’s longest gypsum range, giving freshness, minerality, and elegance. We cultivate vineyards from three centuries: El Vinyet (1889), Catalonia's oldest vineyard with 24 ancestral varietals, including rare X8, X Avi 1997, and X Avi 2167. Les Pedrisses d’Ivars (1935), planted with native grapes. Mas La Parra (1999) at 700m altitude, producing fresh, concentrated wines. Vinya Núria (2006), a revived gravel site growing White Grenache, Red Grenache, and Trobat Negre. Certified biodynamic and organic, we restore biodiversity for future generations.
