M DE MARIÀ
DOQ Priorat
From very old vineyards in a location ideal for producing great wines, and from a historic, family-run winery like Celler Cal Pla, managed by Joan Sangenís and his wife, Cristina Grau, comes a new Gran Anyada project, where the expertise of the three oenologists: Joan Sangenís and Marià Bigordà, father and son, shine through. Together, they interpret the terroir of an excellent land to craft a wine that truly lives up to the name it bears.
