This winery in Bellmunt del Priorat has a long history. In 1867 the winemaker Francesc Gil bought an estate near the Priorat village and named it with the family surname.

Later, in 1931, Finca Mas d’en Gil passed into the hands of Rafael Barril, who restored the old winery, the stables and the hayloft. A house was built right next to them and the estate became known as Masia Barril. For years the grape harvest was sold to the De Muller winery. It was in the 1940s that they decided to start bottling their first wines, opening a new path in the Priorat as pioneers of bottled wine alongside wineries such as De Muller and Cellers Scala Dei.

Pere Rovira i Rovira, a Penedès wine entrepreneur, acquired Masia Barril in 1998 to fulfil a long-held dream: making wine in this appellation. The winery was refounded under its original name, Mas d’en Gil, and the first wines came onto the market in 2000. Today they have reached the highest levels of quality, with Coma Blanca and Clos Fontà receiving the Vi de Finca distinction.

Some years later a new generation took over: Marta Rovira, the youngest daughter of Pere Rovira, now runs the winery with the help of Pilar, Marta’s sister. In recent years Marta has introduced organic farming in all processes, continuing the legacy begun by the Barril family. In 2005 they went a step further and introduced biodynamic farming.

Today the winery exports its wine to more than 40 countries, and it is a must if you are doing wine tourism in the area, as one of the estates with the most biodiversity and history in the DOQ Priorat.

Your wine getaway begins with a walk through the different estates around the winery, before entering the Mas d’en Gil facilities, where you taste the different wines they make, as well as oil from century-old olive trees and even a 1958 solera sweet-and-sour vinegar made with Garnatxa Negra.

If you decide to go wine touring at Mas d’en Gil, you will visit and discover one of the most striking places in the region. Without doubt, a Priorat getaway to remember.
