The Domenech family have been working this estate since 2002, where they have carved out a niche for themselves in the beautiful Collete Valley, above the village of Capcanes in the south east of the DO. They have over 100 parcels covering 27 hectares, of which there is an even split of vineyard and forest. They have rebuilt many of the ancient terraces in the area and have built a cellar which is entirely off grid; which given the location is as sensible as it is sustainable.
There are no other vineyards or wineries within their valley and it is this position that gives the wines their unique character. The valley heads to a pass that allows winds to flow between the land mass and the Mediterranean (there are 15 days a year with no wind), cooling the high altitude vines (between 350 and 500 metres) and giving a higher than average rainfall total. The 15ha of vines are biodynamically farmed. Working on the soil using animal manure has helped to balance the soils acidity and biodiversity, and all chemical fertilisers have been banished and only organic matter is used.
The vineyards are planted principally to Garnatxa with Macabeu, Carinena, and one of the oldest vineyards of Garnatxa Peluda (Hairy Garnacha) in Catalunya. The soils are limestone based, with varying degrees of degradation and sand. There are some areas where Loess can be found, as well as active chalk limestone and clay. Teixar, the Grand Cru (as recognised by the DO) is limestone, chalk and silt in composition.
