As a young girl in the family home in Falset, Eli
Anguera wasn’t as interested in the grapes as she
was in the blackberries. Later she grew up to stu-
dy wine-making, where she met Jordi Vidal, now
the full-time winemaker at Finca Mores. Together
they decided to start to make wines from her
family’s estates. In one, a vineyard between two
dry streams and hemmed in by hills and forest, Eli
remembered spending her childhood days picking
blackberries—whilst everyone else picked grapes.
And so the vineyard was called after them—
”Mores” rather than the excellent old vine Garna-
cha that grows there!
The four and half hectares of
Finca Mores are typical of the
soils at the edge of this region
(see map on previous page),
the slates of the Priorat (here
on the left) overlapping with a
bruised red coloured soil of
volcanic origin (to the right). It
is hard to believe that there are
just twenty metres between
these two soils. This part of
the vineyard is all planted to
Garnacha vines whose precise
age in lost to memory, but who
were documented as far back
as 1939. A small part of the
vineyard was terraced and
planted with Syrah, Cabernet
and Merlot in 2000 to add a
little power and backbone for
the delicate Garnacha. |
