Vinification, winemaker's own words
- Soils:
- Chalk, Gravel, Sand
- Terroir:
- Gypsum-rich soils, thanks to our proximity to La Serra Llarga. Gypsum is intercallated with pebbles and sands that were sedimented by the Noguera Ribagorçana Riber. Despite being some 200km away from the seaside, our climate is Continental, as there is a whole mountain range stopping the inflence from the Mediterranean to reach us. This together provides freshness, salinity and minerality to the wines. This wine is a single Plot Wine from our Vinya Nuria Estate, the closest one to the river. .

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.
