After searching extensively for land in the region, the team at Casa Gran del Siurana decided to purchase two plots of land, which greatly differ in terms of their geography and soil types, in the town of Bellmunt del Priorat. La Casa Gran estate covers 10 hectares of deep flat land, mainly composed of sedimentary fluvial soils from the river Siurana. The vineyard houses the Casa Gran farmhouse, which lends its name to the bodega (winery): a building with a three hundred year history that was the former headquarters of the Carthusian monks of Scala Dei in ancient times. On the other hand, La Fredat estate covers 40 hectares of mountainous terrace farming land with llicorella shale soils, the typical terroir of Priorat, composed of crumbled slate fragments that allow the vines to grow deep roots to make the most of the soil’s nutrients and become more resistant to high temperatures.
