"The Marco Abella Winery is located in Porrera one of the famous Priorat Villages barely  1.5  hours south of Barcelona. The Vineyards are terraced at 650 m of altitude and are facing southeast towards the Mediterraneans ea which is only 30km away. The soil is almost entirely made up of schist rock with very little topsoil. Very little can be grown in an environment like this but as a wine-growing regions go this is world-class. If you enjoy Bordeaux and other classic fine wines then this is for you."
