Juan de Porcioles had long cherished the dream of a life in the countryside, where he wanted to raise his own livestock and cultivate land - in the traditional way. In 1992, he fulfilled this dream and purchased a piece of land, the current Finca de Flix, which he cultivated. The idea of also growing his own wine quickly developed, and so in 1998 Juan began manually planting his first vineyard, Vinya Vella. He was supported by family and friends. Seven years later, the first harvest took place: the Alto Sios, Viña Sios red and rosé wines were the result of this harvest. in 2006 Costers del Sió was built, the winery was born.
