Precipitation: Annual average (historical): 637 mm Annual total (current vintage): 540 mm Temperature: Annual average (historical): 14.2ºC Annual average (current vintage): 13.9ºC Estate of origin: Grans Muralles Location: Poblet, Conca de Barberà Story: This wine takes its name from the walls that protected the monastery at Poblet during the Mercenary Wars. The unmistakeable identity of Grans Muralles is thanks to the stony, slate ground (Licorella) of the region, and the grape varieties believed to be extinct, such as Garró and Querol, using modern viticultural techniques. Together with Cariñena and Monastrell they create the unique spirit of this wine.
