This is the name of a vineyard in Gratallops in the Priorat wine appellation: A daring venture where vines can barely survive given the poor soil of the region, the intense sunlight and the bleak exposure. However, this is exactly what gives rise to the principal essence of Priorat! In this parched, arid area of steeply sloping slate hillsides, our Carignans struggle to survive. This is an extraordinary vineyard in an extraordinary setting. With the idea of bringing a touch of femininity to our wines, we have also planted 10% of Grenache. Today, the work has paid off and visitors to the region can appreciate the vast horizon where the Ebro river gives, from time to time, a modicum of humidity - just enough to allow the vines to survive. The final result is staggering - a harmonious blend of these noble grapes is completely at one with the terroir and gives us a wine with minerality, femininity, subtlety and complexity which warms our hearts. Manyetes is, quite simply, the essence of Priorat transformed into wine. René Barbier
