Marco Abella winery, located in Spain's renowned Priorat wine region, is a family-run estate with a rich history. It stands out for its dedication to quality and sustainable practices. The winery, named after the Abella family, is set in the Llicorella hills, known for their unique slate and quartz soil. This terrain, along with the region’s climate, is ideal for growing Garnacha and Cariñena grapes.
The vineyards, situated between 350 to 700 meters above sea level, add to the wines' complexity. Different elevations result in diverse expressions of the region's terroir. Higher vineyards give the wines elegance, while lower ones add structure and intensity.
Marco Abella is committed to organic farming, avoiding synthetic chemicals. They focus on natural methods to maintain vineyard health. This sustainable approach is central to their operations.
Their winemaking blends tradition with innovation. Grapes are handpicked and carefully selected. The team uses stainless steel tanks and French oak barrels for fermentation and ageing. This balances the fruit's natural character with the oak's complexity.
The wines from Marco Abella are elegant, balanced, and deep. This reflects the Priorat terroir with intense dark fruit, spices, and minerality. Their flagship, Clos Abella, is a harmonious blend of Garnacha and Cariñena. Other notable wines include ‘Olbia’, a modern blend, and ‘Mas Mallola’, showcasing old-vine Garnacha.
The Abella family's involvement in every step of winemaking shows their passion for winemaking. Marco Abella represents the essence of Priorat's wines.
