Buil & Giné
Experience the embodiment of tradition and innovation at Buil & Giné, where century-old vines and organic viticulture intertwine, creating extraordinary wines that captivate the senses and inspire a new generation of winemakers.
Joan Giné was the founder of Buil & Giné. He and his grandson, Xavi, who has since taken over the winery, started making their first wine, Giné Giné, in 1996. Buil & Giné is based in Gratallops, the core of the D.O.Q Priorat, where they own 200 acres of beautiful llicorella soil and terraced vineyards. Their oldest vineyards were planted in 1908.
Joan Giné believed in “Traditional Viticulture," which is to grow vines organically. Following his beliefs, all work is done 100% organically. Buil & Giné started the organic certification process for their vineyards in 2014 and now have all properties certified.
They wanted to utilize the winery and vineyards as an opportunity to share their way of life, a life centered around wine. The wine displays the character of the local grapes and the minerality of the soil, and is extremely enjoyable. More than 15 years ago, they were able to purchase a vineyard in Toro (Pago del Oro) and in Rueda, each producing one single vineyard wine for each of those DOs.
