Trosset de Porrera

Diego and Eduardo Duran care for a tiny plot of organically farmed vines eking out an existence on a precarious slope of inhospitable quartz and slate just outside the mountain village of Porrera. It’s incredible the plants survive the extreme conditions, and that the Durans can farm it: the slope has a 60% incline. Their centenarian cariñena vines are scarcely taller than your hand and produce less than a pound of concentrated, mineral fruit every fall.
