About the Winery

Located in the prestigious wine region of D.O.Q. Priorat, the Clos Galena - Domini de la Cartoixa winery is the result of the dream of Miguel Pérez Cerrada, a university professor and wine enthusiast who sought to create wines that reflect the essence of the territory by combining tradition, innovation, and sustainability. Since its inception, the winery has stood out for its commitment to the environment, cultivating its vineyards according to the principles of organic farming, certified by the Catalan Council for Organic Agricultural Production (CCPAE).

The Clos Galena vineyards grow in licorella (slate) soils, typical of the Priorat region, which give its wines a characteristic minerality and great aromatic depth. The winery is committed to respectful viticulture, with manual harvesting and careful selection of the best grapes in the vineyard itself, guaranteeing the highest quality in every bottle.

Under the direction of renowned winemaker Toni Coca, Clos Galena produces wines that combine the fruity richness of native varieties, such as Garnacha Tinta and Cariñena, with the elegance and structure provided by international varieties such as Syrah. The balanced use of French and American oak barrels allows the natural nuances of the grape to shine through, creating complex, elegant wines with great character.

With a philosophy that combines tradition, sustainability, and excellence, Clos Galena - Domini de la Cartoixa has positioned itself as one of the leading wineries in Priorat, recognized both nationally and internationally for the quality and authenticity of its wines. Formiga de Vellut is a clear example of this philosophy, offering a unique sensory experience that reflects the soul of its land and a commitment to a more sustainable future.
