Marco Abella
Catalonia, Spain
Founded in 2001 by David Marco and his wife, Olívia Bayés, Marco Abella Winery honours the Marco family's winemaking legacy, dating back to the 15th century in Priorat. With 41 hectares of vineyards across seven estates in Porrera, the winery grows primarily indigenous Grenache and Carignan on steep slopes between 450 and 750 meters above sea level.
The unique slate soil (Llicorella) defines the region's identity, allowing vine roots to reach deep for water and contributing to the wines’ freshness and finesse. The cool climate, with hot summers and cold winters, supports optimal phenolic ripeness, giving the wines their distinctive character.
Loidana Blanc
This 2023 is a vibrant blend of Grenache Blanc, Picapoll, Macabeu and Viognier. Fermented in French oak barrels without aging, it offers a fresh and expressive profile. On the nose and palate, it reveals a refined minerality and layered complexity, complemented by aromas of tropical fruits like pineapple and mango, alongside delicate hints of white flowers. The result is a bright, elegant wine with both freshness and depth.
Loidana
The 2021 Loidana vintage offers intense aromas of strawberry, cherry, raspberry, and black cherry, with hints of cedar and spices. Smooth, velvety, and fresh, it showcases the authenticity of Priorat. Aged 10-12 months in French oak, it’s a versatile, approachable wine for any occasion.
