A visual tribute to the harvest

The grape harvest is one of the most intense and identity-defining moments in Priorat. Next to the Serra de Montsant, where the landscape is as demanding as it is inspiring, the grape harvest is the culmination of a whole year of work in the fields: a ritual full of effort, tradition and community. Every September, the vineyards become a moving landscape, where expert hands cut, select and transport the fruit that will define the wine of the year.

The exhibition VEREMA A PEUS DE MONTSANT – COLLITA 2025 captures this essence through sixteen photographs captured during a photographic day held on September 27, 2024. That day, in the midst of the grape harvest, eight photographers — Jordi Brú, Mercè Pons, Toni Lluch, Jordi Joan Rojals, Joan Ramon Coll, Jordi Franquès, Maria Pi and Xavi Flores — closely followed the entire process, from the vineyard to the cellar. From all the images they obtained, a careful selection has been made that offers a graphic taste of the 2025 grape harvest.

The strength of the landscape

The vineyards at the foot of Montsant are synonymous with steep slopes, narrow terraces and a viticulture that is still largely manual. The territory marks the character of the harvest and, in these photographs, we see this deep bond: hands moving among the vines, dirt roads and light filtered through the vines. It is a landscape that demands effort, but at the same time offers incomparable beauty.

A ritual of gestures and precision

The harvest is a choreography that combines speed, skill and attention. Cutting the grapes, loading the boxes or trailers, lowering them down dry stone banks and transporting the fruit to the winery is a demanding task, which the photographers have been able to capture with authenticity. In the images we find concentrated faces, spontaneous smiles, hands stained with must and constant movements: a collective work that speaks of coexistence and craft.

The transformation in the cellar

Once the grapes arrive at the winery, a second, equally intense phase begins: selection, destemming and the first winemaking processes. The photographs show this change of scenery, where the rusticity of the countryside gives way to the precision of the winery, but where the essence remains the same: human dedication.

A tribute to the hands that make wine

This exhibition aims to be, above all, a tribute. A recognition of all the people who, with effort and passion, keep the wine-growing landscape of Priorat alive. Behind every bottle of wine there is a story, and these sixteen images are a sincere and emotional visual taste of it.

The Harvest Festival 2025 at the Celler Cooperatiu de Cornudella de Montsant was a celebration full of territory, tradition and a great atmosphere. More than 100 people participated in the popular breakfast, enjoying grilled organic pork, toasted bread and the first taste of the new oil freshly produced from our mill – one of the most anticipated moments of the day, which allowed us to discover the aromas and freshness of this harvest.

After breakfast, the winery’s president, Francesc Adzerias, and our oenologist, Jordi Rovira, addressed a few words of thanks to all those present and officially presented the Vi Novell 2025, a young, fruity, lively and aromatic red wine made with native varieties from the district of Cornudella, which symbolizes the beginning of a new vintage full of energy and enthusiasm.

In their speech, both the president and the winemaker wanted to highlight and deeply thank the work of all the winery workers, as well as the dedication and commitment of all the partners. Thanks to their perseverance, love for the land and collective effort, the winery continues to operate more than 100 years after its construction, keeping alive the cooperative spirit that defines us.

Next, the exhibition HARVEST AT THE FEET OF MONTSANT was inaugurated, a photographic exhibition with images from eight photographers who sensitively capture the work of the harvest, both in the field and inside the winery.

The day also included the presence of TheWineTruck, which served wines and vermouth throughout the morning, reinforcing the festive and welcoming atmosphere.

At the Celler Cooperatiu we are very satisfied with the great participation and good reception of this day, which highlights the work of our members, as well as the strength of our community.
