Cal Batllet produces wines exclusively from their own vineyards, planted mainly with the autochthonous varieties Grenache and Carignan on licorella soils. The grapes for this remarkable wine are sourced from five different selected Costers (sloped vineyards) on the outskirts of Gratallops, where the age of the vines can reach up to 100 years.

From the 2009 vintage, the wine is produced under the new appellation "Vi de la Vila" from Gratallops. This  legislation, introduced in 2009 by the DOQ Priorat, recognises and protects each region’s different characteristics including viniculture, climate, soil and others, with the purpose of highlighting their particular characteristics.
