More about Alfredo Arribas & his Vins Nus project:
Alfredo is a multidisciplinary architect, with a renowned international career in multiple world locations. In 2001 he acquired the estate Clos del Portal, in Priorat, where he centers his operation. In parallel, he developed a recovery task of a bunch of old vines in the neighboring Montsant appellation. Vins Nus is his project from vines north of the Priorat and Montsant regions of Catalonia. They produce "wines with more absences than add-ons" in respect of the terroir, including their SiurAlta collection of mountain wines.
