| Mas Igneus is produced on the steep slopes around the village of Poboleda in the Priorat region of Spain. It is a relatively new venture and is unique in being the first organic Priorat wine. In a dramatic landscape, hidden away in the mountains and approached by a narrow, switchback road, the vines are cultivated on sheer slopes of up to 45% or on series of terraces. |
Ready for picking |
Rainfall is scarce and the soil mainly consists of slate, producing a tiny yield of powerfully concentrated Garnacha and Carinena grapes.
