The Enchanting Wine Region of Priorat

Celler Joan Simó is a family-owned winery nestled in the renowned wine region of Priorat, Spain. The area began its viticulture journey in the 1990s, drawing on the rich winemaking heritage of the owner’s maternal family. In 1999, the owner transformed a historic basement in Porrera into a modern cellar, reviving the family’s vineyards and producing high-quality wines. Their handcrafted wines have garnered acclaim from prestigious publications and are now enjoyed in countries like the USA, Canada, China, and Denmark. The winery’s philosophy centers on creating exceptional wines with passion and dedication, reflecting the unique characteristics of their land.

A Boutique Winery with Limited Production

Gerrard Batllevell Simó currently leads the winery alongside his father, Uncle Jose, winemaker Josep Angel Mestres, and friend Toni Pena. The Priorat region is characterized by its steep hills and diverse microclimates, with slate-rich soil that enhances the flavor of the grapes. The estate primarily cultivates Grenache, Carignan, Syrah, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Only the finest grapes are handpicked for their premium red and white wines. With an annual production of around 25,000 bottles, Celler Joan Simó currently offers four exquisite red wines, with more exciting releases on the horizon.

Very small winery in a family home in the center of Porrera. It is a project based on an inheritance and built from scratch. At the moment they have few wines and few thousand bottles but the truth is that they are doing a job of 10. They have some very interesting ones in terms of quality and price.
