The estate's deliberately playful cuvée offers an accessible route into Montsant without hiding its Mediterranean identity.

Pilar Just and Xavi Peñas returned to Priorat to restore Mas d'en Rafel, a 46-hectare estate where half the land remains woodland. Their Joana range offers a youthful, more playful interpretation of DO Montsant while retaining a strong sense of Mediterranean place.
