Teixar de Viñas Domènech is the first wine from the D.O. Montsant and the fourth from Catalonia that Incavi grants the qualification of "estate wine". It is a recognition that distinguishes the unique characteristics and climatic conditions, the wines from bunches coming from the same estate, following the production protocols and ratings, more demanding production yields by the D.O., as well as a national and international prestige over more than ten years.
The Teixar de Vinyes Domènech estate comes from the name of a corner of Capçanes known as Font del Teixar, plots with an area of 3 ha located in a protected natural space, of great beauty and ecological value, between the Llaberia mountain range and Montalt, at 400 meters above sea level, surrounded by mountains with pine forests and Mediterranean undergrowth, the orography is very irregular, which favors the intensity of the winds and with less insolation that delays the vegetative cycle of the plant and favors a slower ripening that provides the maximum expression to the Garnacha.
