Vinya del Vuit is a project of Sara, Rene and 6 other young friends from the region. The project commenced in 2001 with the purchase of an outrageously uneconomical old vineyard. It's more than 100 year-old Samsó, planted in 1912, as part of the first wave of Priorat's re-birth after phylloxera. First release was 2002.

In a way, the wine is a statement of generational shift – although now Sara and Rene run their family properties (Mas Martinet and Clos Mogador, respectively – two of the original 'Priorat Five'), back when this idea got up and running they were just starting out ... young, keen and hungry. Along with the other 6 (also local industry "kids" at the time), they purchased Vuit as an entirely neglected - abandoned and overgrown - ancient vineyard. It's south out the back of Clos Mogador and Finca Dofi, on the Cami towards Bellmunt from Gratallops.

The soil of Vuit is blue-brown llicorella, formed in long-and-wide flat leaves, with fennel and mint growing wild throughout. Farmed ecologically, the vineyard is about 95% very old vine Samsó with a tiny bit of co-picked Garnatxa Blanca scattered through the vineyard.
