Manyetes
High above Gratallops in Priorat, a name that sounds almost defiant marks a single slope: Manyetes. The site belongs to the Clos Mogador universe and has been developed since 1999, on austere llicorella slate under intense sun—conditions where vines survive only on very low yields and deep roots.
The work is uncompromisingly site‑driven: multiple passes of hand harvesting, strict sorting, fermentations handled with gentle extraction, and élevage in oak that supports rather than shouts. In Priorat’s newer hierarchy, the origin is read as Vi de Vila and, for top sites, Vi de Paratge—an address system that puts place before label.
Manyetes embodies the modern Priorat idea: old Carinyena vines, extreme terroir and disciplined craft that keeps the hillside at the center. The result is not built for spectacle, but for a focused expression of one demanding vineyard.Manyetes
