Description
When René Barbier brought the abandoned, very old "coster" (steeply sloping traditional Priorat vineyard) back into production, they thought they had acquired a plot of Carinyena (Carignan)... but to their great surprise, they discovered that 40% of the plot consisted of Garnatxa Peluda (indigenous Grenache). This grape ripens before Carinyena (Carignan) and adds more freshness. It was a coincidence, and a stroke of luck, because it was the final piece of the puzzle needed to bring the Bellvisos balance.
The Gratallops Partida Bellvisos is a dazzling wine with a long maceration that needs oak and time in the bottle to be reborn, fine, seductive, fresh and powerful ... in which the Llicorella (slate soil) has inextricably shaped the wine.
The Sara Pérez y René Barbier Gratallops Partida Bellvisos Tinto is a refined, biodynamic red wine. It is both elegant and powerful, with an intense mineral expression, aromas of ripe red and black berries, Mediterranean herbs, violets, graphite, and subtle oak notes. The structure is complex, with refined acidity, ripe tannins, and a remarkably long finish.
FACT: The wine is stored in our climate-controlled Wine Warehouse, and if you pick it up, you'll often receive a nice discount . You'll see your discount immediately when you select "Pick up" at checkout. We're located in Dordrecht, just off the A16 motorway, with ample parking. Click here for our address.

1. Leg of lamb with lavender, thyme and roasted aubergine
The spicy and floral flavors in the dish complement the Mediterranean spiciness and floral notes of the wine. The lamb's full structure offers a beautiful balance with the ripe tannins.
2. Grilled entrecote with black garlic butter and parsnip fries
The juicy, fatty meat tempers the wine's robust structure, while the deep flavour of black garlic enhances the earthy character and minerality in the glass.
3. Lentil stew with chorizo, smoked paprika powder and bay leaf
The smoky chorizo and spicy notes mirror the warmth and spice of the wine. The texture of the lentils gives the dish enough weight for this powerful Priorat.
4. Duck breast with plum sauce, caramelized onion and celeriac puree
The combination of sweet, earthy, and savory enhances the wine's rich fruit and umami. The duck's soft texture complements the silky tannins.
5. Mushroom risotto with truffle and aged Manchego
The earthy flavors of mushroom and truffle enhance the slate-like minerality. Manchego adds saltiness and creaminess that complement the wine's depth.
6. Venison loin with blackberry jus, parsnip cream and roasted hazelnut
The intense gamey flavor complements the wine's concentration. The blackberry juice accentuates the dark fruit, while hazelnut provides structure and extra length.

I tasted two vintages of the red produced with a majority of Cariñena and a part of Garnacha Peluda, which has a different character from Garnacha Tinta and something reminiscent of Cariñena. The 2019 Gratallops Vi de Vila Partida Bellvisos is a wine that distills the rustic character of the Priorat landscape but seems to be able to extract that character in a wine that has finesse, like it was put through a sieve that let the character in but stopped the larger, more rustic particles. It transported me to the character of the Priorat reds from the turn of this century, with the wet slate aromas and the lifted sensation. It has a medium-bodied palate with abundant, slightly dusty tannins, and it's spicy and tasty. There's more definition here than in the 2020 that I tasted next to it.
I tasted a variety of vintages from the personal project of Sara Pérez and René Barbier, as some wines are kept and released later, mostly the ones produced with Cariñena. The white 2021 was the highlight of the tasting. The wines have been produced at Clos Mogador, a kind of experimentation field for René. René was on a three-week tour in the US, meeting customers that were all really worried because of the threat of a 200% tariff on wines from Europe...

René Barbier (fourth generation of the same name !!!) started in the world of wine in 1992 at Clos Mogador with his father, the other René Barbier, the bearded and dedicated more than 20 years of his life to wine there. The first 10 years he worked mainly in the winery and then mainly in the vineyards and learned that unique land brings unique wines. This has now been proven with the iconic Clos Mogador, Venus Universal and Espectacle wines. In 2001 Rene Barbier had the opportunity to buy a small very old "coster" (steep sloping, traditional) vineyard called Els Bellvisos. This vineyard was abandoned and it was fascinating, in the middle of a steep quarry of holm oaks, the views and the absolute inhospitability are spectacular. It was during this same period that another major influence came into Rene's life in the form of Sara Pérez, his current wife and partner. The daughter of José Luis Pérez, one of the most important figures in the Spanish wine world.
Together with Sara they have brought the Bellvisos vineyard back into production. It was an uncompromising place, but one that offered the chance to make a wine that was one with nature. They started this project based on their philosophy of life: a sustainable, organic project where they could close the circle of life. This fascinating place known as Bellvisos (Bella Vista - Beautiful View) is an extremely steep "coster" or sloping vineyard which, due to the structure of the Llicorella or slate soil, makes it impossible to build vineyard terraces. It was abandoned 40 years before herbicides and chemical pesticides were available so was already completely original organic and biological. There are no neighbors because of the steep slopes around it: not even the bravest would plant a vineyard here! As a result, the area has been in perfect balance for a long time.
Ten years ago they started pruning and the abandoned vines at Bellvisos were brought back into production. They use a mule and hand plowing alternated with cutting the weeds. We apply herbal tea and milk whey as fertilizer and constantly walk through the vines. All manual and aimed at maintaining balance between the freshness of the plot and the depth that is typical Priorat (that which makes the wines so unique). We decide when to harvest based on our taste buds and our intuition… according to a very personal criterion. We prepare each wine in the vineyard by reproducing the wild yeasts ourselves that will lead to a natural alcoholic fermentation, preserving the different aromas according to each vintage.
The Bellvisos and the Partida del Pedrer wines come from this great unique, authentic vineyard in the heart of the Priorat.
