History Mas de les Pereres
Dirk Hoet, the owner, is a native of Turnhout, in Belgium. For years he had been looking for a nice estate where he could produce a great wine ; he went searching in the French South-West and in Italy, before he found what he was looking for in Priorat, at Poboleda. Dirk was trained as a veterinary, and in his first life, he produced cider. It took him some years to go from cider to wine, but in 1999, he bought the Mas de les Pereres and rapidly started to test his winemaking abilities. The estate comprises old vines as well as new plantations, all nicely located on slate terraces. Dirk produces white (Nunci Blanc, Nunci Abocat) and red wines (Nuncito, Nunci Negre, Nunci Costero). All these wines are technically perfect; Dirk is a perfectionist and leaves nothing to chance. “Nunci” means village crier – Dirk named some vines to the ex-crier of the village.
