The village of La Morera, the oldest and highest town in Priorat, situated at an altitude of 750m includes a vineyard area of 52.9 hectares in total. The municipality is the most extensive and northerly in the DOQ Priorat, occupying most of the Montsant mountain range. Close by to La Morera one finds the village of Cornudella de Montsant, home of Bodegas Noguerals, a very young estate having only been established in 2000. Proprietor Ramon Alzamora focuses on the traditional Catalan grape varieties, namely Garnacha Tinta & Cariñena as well as Syrah & Cabernet Sauvignon. This tiny artisanal operation owns just 5.5 hectares of vineyards in total, of which 4 hectares are classified in Priorat at 400m altitude and 1.5 hectares in neighbouring Montsant. All vines are planted on the classic soil of the area, namely ‘Llicorella’ schist/slate. Ramon’s wines are full of expressive personality and exhibit a clear freshness.
