DESCRIPTION
Purgatori is a tribute to Benedictine monks who utilized this land for both penance and discovery. In 1770, the Abbey of Montserrat ordered an estate to be built at L’Aranyó, an inhospitable site far from the monastery, in an area known for its harsh living conditions. This is where disobedient friars were sent, who would do their penance by working the land. What they discovered was a terroir with great potential for making an exceptional wine. Legend has it that large wine barrels would mysteriously disappear. Some said that angels took them to heaven. Since 2012, the winery has been carrying on the monk's legacy by making a fresh, elegant wine full of personality. From the 2022 vintage, Purgatori now blends Garnacha with an ancestral varietal, Gonfaus, which the winery rediscovered in 1998 and planted at the estate.
