For five centuries, the Marco Abella family has produced wine in Porrera and their wines combine this tradition with the innovative essence of Barcelona. Josep Guinovart (Barcelona 1927-2007), a famous painter and dear friend of the Marco family, created paintings for their wines, the inspiration for their labels. Mas Mallola is produced from a blend of the Priorat's two indigenous varieties, Grenache and Carignan, with an added touch of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz grown in Marco Abella's organic vineyards in Porrera, a distinctive village in Priorat.
