Our winery counted from its origin with five hectares of this variety planted in 1998 and 1999. During this 2017 campaign, "we have planted 2.5 hectares of black variety in a new plot, and we have grafted other 2.8 hectares of white Grenache in the plots where we have our white varieties, Pla de Lladoner and El Molí. With this increase we already exceed ten hectares of Grenache", explains José María Porcioles, responsible for agricultural production.
