Story: Perpetual is a wine born of time and terrain. The old Garnacha and Cariñena vines are between 80 and 100 years old and grow on steep, rocky slopes. Llicorella (slate) is the essence of this beautifully concentrated wine with great personality. The parcels are small and located near the villages of El Lloar, Porrera, Bellmunt, Torroja, Gratallops, Falset, El Molar and Masroig. They belong to local winegrowers, but undergo rigorous controls to ensure that the fruit is of the highest quality. Perpetual is a tribute to the well- aging Priorat wines, intense, full of character and born to defeat time.
