Celler Pasanau

Priorat reds from schist soils: Cabernet and traditional Catalan varieties.

Celler Pasanau operates in Priorat, the steep-terraced region of southern Catalunya known for powerful, mineral-driven reds. The winery's portfolio centers on Cabernet Sauvignon and traditional Iberian varieties—Cariñena, Grenache, and Mazuelo—pressed from the region's schist-based soils. Cabirol de la Planeta, a Cabernet Sauvignon, represents the winery's highest-rated expression, while Poboleda Vi de Vila blends Cariñena, Grenache, and Merlot into a more complex frame. El Vell Coster layers Mazuelo, Garnacha Tinta, and Cabernet Sauvignon. These wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator, Decanter, Wine Enthusiast, and Wine Advocate. Priorat's extreme topography and old-vine plantings yield concentrated fruit and structural depth—hallmarks evident across the winery's range.
