Vinyes i Cellers Clua is a small winery in the Terra Alta region in the south of Catalonia. It is a region that has traditionally produced Grenache based wines, both red and the more unusual White Grenache. After the recent boom in the Priorat region, attention is now turning to the nearby Terra Alta, which has a similar climate and produces the same grapes that are used in Priorat wines.

The Clua family has been making wine in Vilalba dels Arcs for over four generations, but only since 1995 has the cellar started to bottle its own wine. This change has been driven by the latest generation of the Clua family. Xavier Clua, studied at the oenology university in Tarragona, and after a period of work experience in Bordeax, returned with an aim to make great wines from the local grape varietals. To the largely Grenache based vineyards they have added areas of Tempranillo (aka, Ull de Llebre), Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Chardonnay to complement the local varietals. Their most recent planting has been a small amount of Sauvignon Blanc.
