Producer identity

A separate traditional-wine project

Arrels del Priorat is a registered Gratallops producer associated in the DOQ Priorat record with Jaume Balaguer and René Barbier. It remains a separate public identity from their other winery relationships.

The project centres on traditional oxidative wines held in old family-house systems. A house name or solera age identifies a wine source, not another producer.

Current wine evidence

Ca les Viudes and old solera records

Ca les Viudes

A named Gratallops ranci-wine source associated with a century-scale family-house record. The age describes the continuing system or source account rather than the age of every bottled component.

Naturally high alcohol

Regional producer material describes the wine's strength as achieved naturally through its long oxidative development. The statement is retained as source attribution rather than independently measured here.

A very small release

Availability is limited and irregular. A historic critical score or old bottling record does not establish current stock.
