Producer identity

A family house converted back to wine

Celler Joan Simó occupies the Porrera house where the current owner's grandfather was born. The first 1999 production was 1,100 bottles; the DOQ account records a cellar capacity of 25,000 bottles.

The producer's vineyard geography extends beyond Porrera to Bellmunt del Priorat and, in documented releases, fruit from El Molar. Those sources do not create additional producer profiles in either municipality.

Current wine evidence

Les Eres, Les Sentius and a small Carners selection

Les Eres

The founding old-vine wine, linked to a steep Porrera site planted principally with Carinyena and Garnatxa.

Les Sentius

The second wine, associated with later plantings around La Garranxa. A documented 2020 blend also used Cabernet Sauvignon from El Molar; that sourcing is vintage-specific.

Les Eres Especial dels Carners

A very small selection made only when the Els Carners fruit warrants it. Els Carners is recorded above Bellmunt del Priorat.

Place relationship

Porrera is the cellar; the vineyards cross municipal lines

The producer distinguishes the cooler Porrera and La Garranxa sites from the warmer Tros Nou and Els Carners sites around Bellmunt del Priorat.

The DOQ record publishes visits by prior reservation in Catalan, Spanish and English.
