Nestled in the heart of the prestigious Priorat, surrounded by 300 hectares of protected Mediterranean forest and 32 hectares of heroic vineyards, Perinet is much more than a winery — it is an icon.
Visiting its breathtaking modernist-inspired cellar, with a Gaudí-style barrel room and majestic views over the Montsant mountains, already sets the tone for what their wines deliver: scientific precision beautifully fused with artisanal soul.
Under the direction of acclaimed winemaker Antoni Sànchez-Ortiz, Perinet has conquered international critics. At the Decanter World Wine Awards 2025, their Merit 2019 achieved an outstanding 95 points and Gold Medal, while Likka 2018 and 1194 2018 both received Silver Medals and 2018 Carinyena Pendents receiving 97 points or 2017 Perinet with 93 points both from Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast.
These accolades firmly place Perinet among the leading names of Priorat.
Each bottle of Perinet is a sensory journey: the intense minerality of the llicorella slate, the floral elegance of Garnatxa, and the depth of Carinyena intertwine into wines that are both an immediate pleasure and true collector’s pieces.
Clos Maria: Radical Purity from Montsant
Just a few kilometers away, an estate cradled between the Montsant mountain range and the Siurana River valley, where steep terraces and Mediterranean forest converge to create an expressive Montsant terroir, lies Clos Maria, a boutique project that radiates authenticity. With a historic 17th-century estate and just 10 hectares of vineyard within 230 hectares of protected natural landscape, Clos Maria defines luxury by its very scarcity: only 25,000 bottles per year.
Here, the philosophy is uncompromising: organic viticulture since 2015, minimal intervention in the cellar, natural fermentations, and no added sulfites. The result? Vibrant, expressive wines that capture the soul of this singular terroir, rooted in 98% llicorella soils and shaped by a microclimate that balances hot, dry days with refreshingly cool nights.
Clos Maria is both a tribute to nature and to history — wines crafted with authenticity and character that appeal to those seeking rare, distinctive treasures.
