Buil & Giné

Joan Giné was 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 believed in “Traditional Viticulture," which is to grow vines organically. Following his beliefs, all work is done 100% organically. Buil & Giné started the organic certification process for their vineyards in 2014 and now has 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. The wine displays the character of the local grapes and the minerality of the soil, and is extremely enjoyable. More than 15 years ago, they were able to purchase a vineyard in Toro (Pago del Oro),
and in Rueda, each producing one single vineyard wine for each of those DOs.

D.O.Q. Priorat, Spain

Their vineyards are 45% Red Garnacha, 30% Cariñena, 10% white varietals (White Garnacha, Macabeu, Viognier, and PX), and 15% other red varietals, like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah. Joan Giné pioneered and founded the wine cooperative with the goal of preserving the terroir and culture of the region.

D.O. Montsant, Spain

The Montsant is the low-elevation region surrounding the Priorat. With traditions of its own, the vines in this region grow next to fields of spices such as rosemary, fennel, and nut trees, creating unique flavors in the grapes that benefit from the neighboring plants.

D.O. Rueda, Spain

In the 2010s, they embarked on a new project, buying 17 acres of a 35-year-old vineyard of Verdejo in Rueda, one of the most central regions of Spain. This wine wants to show a simple concept: 1 vineyard = 1 wine using Verdejo, the endemic grape exclusively.

D.O. Toro, Spain

TThe D.O. Toro is known around the world for its powerful wines, product of the Tinta de Toro grape, an endemic tempranillo varietal. Texts from the year 1700 write about this wine, known throughout history as a unique combination of boldness and strength, while maintaining the freshness of the fruit with great aging potential.
