Buil & Giné

Joan Giné is the founder of Buil & Giné. He and his grandson, Xavi, who has since taken over the winery, started making their first wine, Giné Giné, in 1996. Buil & Giné is based in Gratallops, the core of the D.O.Q Priorat where they own 200 acres of beautiful llicorella soil and terraced vineyards. Their oldest vineyards were planted in 1908. Joan Giné pioneered and founded the wine cooperative with the goal of preserving the terroir and culture of the region. 

​

Joan Giné believed in traditional viticulture, which is growing vines organically. Following the path he set-out, they do all work 100% organically. Buil & Giné started the organic certification process for their vineyards in 2014 and have all properties certified. 

​

They wanted to utilize the winery and vineyards as an opportunity to share their way of life, a life centered around wine. Their wine displays the character of the local grapes, the minerality of the soil, and is extremely enjoyable.
