Their portfolio focuses heavily on native grape varieties such as Garnacha (Grenache) and Carinyena (Carignan), often grown on steep, terraced vineyards with slate soils known locally as llicorella. These conditions contribute to wines of remarkable intensity, structure, and minerality. The winery produces both single-varietal expressions and blends that exhibit freshness, spice, and a savoury edge, achieved through natural fermentation and minimal intervention.

This region is one of only two in Spain to hold the prestigious DOQ status, reflecting its long history of winemaking excellence and strict production standards. The vineyards are set on steep, terraced slopes composed primarily of llicorella, a type of flaky slate that retains heat and imparts a distinct mineral quality to the wines. The region's challenging terrain requires manual labour and low yields, contributing to intensely flavoured, concentrated fruit. The Mediterranean climate, marked by hot days and cool nights, helps preserve acidity and balance in the grapes. The winery operates according to organic and biodynamic principles, further enhancing the expression of the land. As a result, each wine from Cellar Aixalà i Alcait offers a compelling, site-driven snapshot of Priorat’s rugged beauty and rich viticultural heritage.
