At the beginning of the vegetative cycle there was light but constant rainfall that allowed correct flowering and fruit set. Although the rains were few, they occurred at key moments, favouring the development of the plants. The end of spring and the beginning of summer brought several unusual heatwaves that raised temperatures. In July and August brief heatwaves alternated with atypical rainfall that prevented water stress. Ripening was more balanced in high and cool areas. The harvest was good, with only an approximate loss of 10% compared to the average of previous years.

Old Garnacha and Cariñena vines between 80 and 100 years old, planted on steep slopes of licorella stone (slate), are the essence of this wine of great concentration and personality. Small plots belonging to local winegrowers, located in several municipalities of the Priorat, on which exhaustive monitoring is carried out to guarantee the maximum quality of the fruit. Perpetual is a tribute to the aging wines of Priorat, an intense and characterful wine, born to overcome time.
