The origin of the name Palfuriana comes from the Latin words Palutris and Furius, and refers to a meeting place on the ancient Via Augusta during the times of Roman settlement which can be found today on the coastal region of El Vendrell. It is a wine made from our own indigenous grapes from the Baix Penedès region. The philosophy behind it was to make a medium-aged wine (3-4 months) to better express all the personality of the grapes.

Varieties: Ull de Llebre (“Tempranillo”) 50 %, Merlot 40%, 10% Grenache .
