Located in Pradell de la Teixeta, in the Priorat, Mas d'en Rafel is a unique estate within the Denomination of Origin Montsant, a DO that, in a short time, has managed to make a name for itself in the demanding wine market. In the first place, because our vineyards are located, in a straight line, a few kilometers from the Mediterranean, from where only the pre-coastal mountain range of Llaberia ...separates us, and the freshness of the sea comes to us every evening when the "garbinada" caresses the strains. A wind that visits us loaded with humidity and that contributes to the hydric balance of the strains, which appreciate it when rainfall is scarce. In summer, however extreme it may be, the "garbinada" always tempers the atmosphere in Mas d'en Rafel, and allows us to ripen the fruit more slowly. Second, our farms are a true sample of all kinds of old stone margins, which delimit and support terraces on all sides of the mountain, from the forest and even the river. Because for us, the margins of stone (which are raised following a traditional technique, stone on stone, without any type of mortar) are an agricultural heritage of great value that, little by little, we have been recovering for the cultivation of the vineyard. A vivid example of how the landscape of this territory has always been the son of the closest coexistence between human activity and the natural environment.
