Bodega Bravo Escós Les Camades Priorat

Winemaker Bodega Bravo Escós on the winery

“At Bodega Bravo Escós, everything revolves around the soul of Priorat. From our estate near Torroja del Priorat, we explore how to express the character of our vineyards as purely as possible. We combine local grape varieties such as Garnacha and Cariñena with innovative winemaking techniques. Our winemaker, Pep Aguilar, lets the soil guide him rather than the oak. Because it is precisely the differences between our soils that give our wines their distinctive character.”

And on Priorat, Spain

“Priorat is a rugged landscape of steep slopes and dark slate soils, locally known as llicorella. The combination of intense sunshine, cooling influences and poor soils produces grapes with both concentration and tension. Our Les Camades comes from several vineyards around Torroja del Priorat, where mature vines grow in slate, clay and limestone-rich soils. After spontaneous fermentation, the wine ages for fourteen months in terracotta jars and French oak barrels. This brings together Priorat’s depth and minerality with refinement and elegance.”
