Mas Martinet - Camí Pesseroles
Camí Pesseroles estate, positioned along the historic rural route linking Gratallops and Porrera, boasts a vineyard planted in 1939. Despite the challenges of that era, it now features 80-year-old Carinyena vines and newer Garnatxa vines from a neighboring estate. This period marked a shift in Priorat's winemaking, influenced by phylloxera, World War I and II, and dictatorship. Manual methods prevailed, with grapes transported in portadores to the winery, where they fermented in open wooden vats and aged in chestnut barrels. Today, Mas Martinet retains these practices in the Camí Pesseroles wine, honoring Priorat's 1950s heritage.
