Llicorella Vins
Description
Data of interest
Llicorella Vins is a project initiated by the renowned Valencian group Viñas Familia Gil in the heart of the Priorat. Located in the municipality of El Molar, in a beautiful farmhouse, Mas Perxet, the winery is surrounded by a rugged landscape of slate soils that give rise to intriguing red wines thanks to the peculiarities of its terroir.
In this terroir, the vines grow among fossil slates known as ‘llicorellas’, and the steep slopes where they are located are swept by winds that vary between cold northern currents and mild breezes from the marine east.
At Llicorella Vins winery, the main varieties cultivated are garnacha and cariñena, and their flagship wine is the red Minairó.
The origins of Viñas Familia Gil date back to 1906 when Juan Gil Giménez, great-grandfather of the current family managing the project, established a small winery in the municipality of Jumilla. Today, the group comprises 10 wineries located in 10 denominations of origin across the country. All of them adhere to a family philosophy: sustainable cultivation, promoting the native varieties of each region, and respecting the environment.
