The Parrilla family, who own and run Tenuta del Conte, have been making wine here for four generations, the latest of which to take over the estate are Mariangela, Giuseppe, and Caterina.
In 2011 Mariangela Parrilla took over as winemaker. Mariangela takes a philosophical approach to winemaking, with the aim to let these traditional indigenous grape varieties speak for themselves and their terroir. Her wines are all organic, no herbicides or chemicals are used at any stage of the production process, she opts for spontaneous fermentations using indigenous yeasts, no filtration, and solely stainless-steel and bottle aging. Taking each wine vintage by vintage she lets them evolve and age “according to their own natural rhythm”, making each wine unique. This could be just one year in bottle before release or over 10 years. Not only does she capture the unique character of the grape variety but that of the vintage it's from too.
Together with a handful of other wineries in the area, Mariangela is part of “The Cirò Revolution”, a group formed to promote and protect their territory’s identity. They are dedicated to organic viticulture and minimal intervention winemaking, they make traditional wines, in homage to their ancestors, from native grape varieties.

Els Vilˑlusionistes Equanim Blanc 2020
Regular price £36.95Vi brisat is the Catalan term for a white wine that has been fermented with skins – so it’s an orange wine… and one of the best examples we’ve seen. 30% Macabeu and 70% Garnatxa Blanco, a small portion of the grapes are left in an open amphora to start a spontaneous ferment before these grapes are then used to start the fermentation process in the other parcels. The skin-contact period lasts around 9 days after which pressing takes place and the must is transferred to stainless steel before blending. As you might expect, there is an awful lot going on here but there is a deft touch on display with lychee notes that nicely complement the unctuous quality of the wine.
Country: Spain
Region: Priorat
Grapes: 30% Macabeu and 70% Garnatxa Blanco

The 4th vintage of applying the submerged cap technique, which continues to emphasise Porseleinberg's unique tannin profile. A reserved start is noticeable, after which the wine opens to red and black fruit, with a mineral and savoury spice. A crunchy, dry and grippy, yet fine tannin soundly carries the fruit to cover ones palate. The finish is long and fresh with good fruit concentration and some salty minerality. Drink from 2031-35.
