Celler de l’Era — Mas de les Moreres

Celler de l'Era is a family project launched in 2002 at Mas de les Moreres, a farmhouse and 72-hectare estate on the right bank of the Arbolí river, about five kilometres from the village of Cornudella de Montsant. The building is part of an architectural complex documented since the 17th century, though there are signs of even greater age, and in the 19th century it served as an inn.

Of the estate's 72 hectares, around 12 are currently under vine, with roughly 41,000 vines spread across centuries-old dry-stone terraces that testify to the historic effort of farming this rugged terrain. The winery works local varieties such as Garnatxa Negra and Carinyena alongside Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Grapes are hand-harvested into small 10-15 kg crates, sorted, and vinified with methods tailored to each wine, including cold maceration for the whites and controlled fermentations.

Wines produced include Bri Blanc de Negre, Bri Garnatxa (rosé), Ciscu and Era, all under the DO Montsant appellation. The winery offers estate visits and tastings by prior reservation. Mas de les Moreres also houses, within the same farmhouse complex, the Cingles Blaus winery, founded in 2001.
