Independent listings and reviews confirm a handful of wines released under the Prior Pons name, including a bottling called Isaral (also labelled Planets de Prior Pons). The 2011 vintage of Isaral - Planets de Prior Pons was reviewed by the Austrian wine magazine Falstaff, which scored it 93 points in 2015 and described a sweet-spicy nose, a fine slate character, generous forest-fruit flavours, and notes of pepper, olives and allspice. Vivino lists the winery's wines with an average rating of 4 out of 5, based on a small number of ratings.
Beyond these commercial listings, no corroborated information could be found about the winery's founding, ownership, grape varieties grown, winemaking philosophy, or visiting arrangements.
