The wine
Manyetes is the name of a plot of land in Gratallops, where the Barbier family owns a vineyard of very old Cariñena vines which heroically survive in the harsh terrain of slate (llicorella) soil, in especially tough weather conditions. Manyetes is also the name of this fantastic full-bodied wine, offspring of one of modern Priorat's founding fathers: René Barbier.
An excellent Cariñena wine, a rustic type of vine capable of producing a most elegant texture when handled well and the fruit is harvested at its optimum point of ripeness. A robust and earthy wine, unmistakably Priorat, fresh and very harmonious. An amazing wine, which conveys the essence of Gratallops.

Clos Mogador
René Barbier arrived in Priorat, from a well-known family of French vine-growers, when the wines of this region were totally unknown. He and a group of friends, including names now notably famous such as Josep Lluís Pérez (Mas Martinet Viticultors), Carles Pastrana (Costers del Siurana), Dafne Glorian (Clos i Terrasses) and, somewhat later, Álvaro Palacios (Álvaro Palacios), were the real architects of the recovery of this small appellation in inland Tarragona, greatly admired...
