GEMMA MIRÓ CELLAR
Gemma Miró is the project of a young wine grower from Falset, in the Priorat region. Biologist with a master’s degree in Viticulture and Oenology, in 2020 she takes up work on her grandfather’s piece with the aim of recovering the family vineyard and working on it in a humble and respectful way.
A family bond between grandfather and granddaughter to continue giving value to the land, the farming and the 40-year-old vines that grow in licorice, clay and saulón soils on the Les Pinyanes estate. A small project, less than one hectare of vineyard cultivated and worked manually where the typical varieties of the area live together: caranyena, grenache and muscatel grape. Wines to give life, again, to the vines at home.

The origin of the name comes as a tribute to grandmother Mariona, where from the warmth of the house, she taught us to grow up as strong and independent women. She started at a very young age to work in the town’s tailor shop, in Falset, making pants patterns while helping my grandfather with the piece work and partly, selling food products in the shop they had in the town. In my mind I associated sewing needles and pine needles (the leaves of the tree) from
the farm where the vine grows, Les Pinyanes, and I thought it was a very beautiful symbiosis to remember them both.
