Clos Pachem, named after the founder Michael Grupper's children—Paul, Charles, and Emma—is a family-owned winery nestled in the picturesque village of Gratallops, within the renowned Priorat DOQ wine region of Spain. This winery is dedicated to sustainable practices, cultivating its vineyards using biodynamic and organic methods. Surrounded by lush vineyards and olive groves, the estate offers breathtaking views of the Catalonian countryside.
The winery's design reflects sustainable architecture, crafted by the esteemed Barcelona-based studio, Harquitectes. The structure features multiple decks of varying heights, designed to collect rainwater that nourishes the surrounding vegetation. Guests can enjoy wine tastings on the terrace, while the ground floor houses a barrel room and wine storage vaults, ensuring optimal thermal stability. Clos Pachem pays homage to the enduring legacy of family-run wineries.
Spanning five hectares, Clos Pachem's land is home to a diverse array of flora, including grapevines, olive trees, and almond trees. Michael Grupper focuses on two exceptional grape varieties: Grenache and Carignan, which are used to craft premium red and white wines. The estate prioritizes ecological practices, with all harvesting done by hand, ensuring the highest quality and respect for the land.

I tried different red wines made of local Priorat Garnatxa and Carinyena grapes and aged on oak French barrels, concrete vats and amphorae, and Toni, the cellar’s sommelier, explained its character and also shared the story behind this exceptional winery. Besides, the building is an state-of-art piece of Catalonia modern architecture.

What an amazing place! My wife and I much prefer to consume organic, biodynamically-farmed wines. Pachem takes their commitment to sustainability and natural wine production to a whole different level with the design of the winery itself. It was so neat to see how they keep the cellar cool without anything more than a water pump moving water twice a day between two "pools". We had a great experience here, and would love to visit again. The wines were vibrant and fresh with good acidity. Based on our tasting of many other Priorat wines during our time in Gratallops, Pachem is doing something different. Our tasting here was a welcomed break from the big, bold, tannic grenache/carignan wines that Priorat is well-known for.
