KM 11,5 FEST: THE PROGRAMME
FRIDAY, JUNE 30: PAU TEROL ORGAN TRIO & JOAN GINÉ BLANC.
From 6 p.m. to 7 p.m.: Tasting of JOAN GINÉ Blanc: vintages 2020, 2018, 2015 and 2011. A comparative tasting of different vintages of our star white wine. A white with all the personality of our ancestor Joan Giné. It is the first vertical tasting that we offer of this wine and it will surprise you!
From 7 p.m. to 10.30 p.m.: Live music, wines and tapas at the BUIL & GINÉ Wine Bar, our ideal setting for summer evenings. On this first venue we will be accompanied by Pau Terol on the hammond organ, Joe Juanós on trumpet and Fernando-García Ramos on drums. A top proposal that will combine different musical styles, from blues and jazz, through boogaloo and funk. We will pair it with our JOAN GINÉ Blanc 2019 by the glass. Although the star of the night will be JOAN GINÉ Blanc, you will be able to also enjoy all our wines by the glass and tapas prepared for this day*.

FRIDAY, JULY 28: THE BLUES COLORS & GINÉ GINÉ
From 7 p.m. to 8.30 p.m.: Surprise wine tasting among the vineyards A new and unprecedented experience that promises to be unique and very special! We will enjoy a guided walk between vineyards, off the usual path of visits. And among vineyards, surrounded by the stunning landscape, we will enjoy a tasting of our wines. We will first taste the wines blind with the idea of making the experience even more magical. A very fun tasting where we will play with our senses and see how sight conditions us when we drink a wine. And we will challenge ourselves to discover the wines we taste: red or rosé, young or aged… The surprise effect is guaranteed, both for the tasting and the place where we will do it. We will taste four wines, some from very special vintages. Not to miss!
From 8.30 p.m. to 11 p.m.: Live music, wines and tapas at the BUIL & GINÉ Wine Bar. This time we will have The Blues Colors. British guitarrist and singer Phil Mahon leads this experienced power trio, where Xavier Francin plays the bass and Pere Roca the drums. Energy at its fullest!

SATURDAY, AUGUST 26: BAD DECISIONS & GINÉ ROSAT
From 7.30 p.m. to 8.30 p.m.: COMPARATIVE TASTING OF 3 WINES, 6 VINTAGES. We will taste two special vintages of three representative BUIL & GINÉ wines. We will talk about the meaning of vintage in wine and why wines don’t taste exactly the same every year. How does climate affect the life cycle of the vine? What is the influence of terroir in wines? Do not miss this tasting of six wines!
From 8.45 p.m. to 11 p.m.: Live music, wines and tapas at the BUIL & GINÉ Wine Bar. On this occasion, Bad Decisions will accompany us and we will receive them with a glass of our unique GINÉ ROSAT 2017. Bad Decisions is an Americana flavored band: original song-based music with a bluesy, folksy, popsy feel. Founders Sheridan Hindley (vocals, harmonica, USA) and Alejandro Labandera (guitar, Uruguay) have been cultivating their own style and sound for years: songs that bring you to the open highway, lonely gasoline stations, stories born in bars long after closing hours with the blinds down… Live, they take the audience on a journey with them, each song a chapter from “The Book of Bad Decisions”. In quartet, the sound of Bad Decisions grows with the contribution of two great musicians based in Barcelona, Nicolás
López on bass and Luis “Chuli” Miranda on drums. Remember: Bad Decisions make good songs!
Wines by the glass and food will be available during all the event.

Being submitted to competition for the first time, Samsó 108 has obtained 97 points and the Platinum Medal (above Gold) in the DECANTER World Wine Awards. It is the largest contest in the world, and one of the most influential in the sector (due to the professional recognition of the jury and the evaluation process, based on blind tasting).

From 7.45 p.m. to 11 p.m.: Live music, wines and tapas at the BUIL & GINÉ Wine Bar. Following with the groundbreaking spirit of the KM. 11.5 FEST, this time we will enjoy the music group FREE FALL.

WHY KM. 11,5 FEST?
#WeArePriorat responds to our raison d’être: we represent the sixth generation of Priorat winegrowers. Wine has always been an essential part of our culture and lifestyle, and that’s how we want to share it. We understand wine as a source of transmission of knowledge and of this historical legacy that precedes us. In addition to making wines that are representative of our terroir, we also strive to introduce you to our territory and culture through wine tourism so that you can enjoy a full experience in Priorat. We believe that living it, is the best way to feel it and understand its immensity. The KM. 11.5 FEST alludes to our exact location in Priorat and is at the same time a metaphor of our origin, of this legacy that we have the responsibility to make known and maintain, enriching it for future generations.
