    Traveling to DOQ Priorat from Barcelona feels like a real wine expedition in which, suddenly, we abandon our reality to dive in a setting isolated from time. A parallel reality full of wine. It doesn’t sound bad at all!

    El Priorat’s landscape is composed of hilly Mediterranean slopes, winding roads that only very recently were paved, and tiny forsaken villages surrounded with vineyards and full of cellars. Thanks to the vision of a group of winemakers at the end of the 80’s and the hard work of many women and men, el Priorat nowadays produces some of the most prestiged wines in the world. Their formula is that of the greatest: very old vines, tiny productions, harsh dry weather and an almost religious winemaking culture. The obsession of the local producers of this region has transformed El Priorat. What was an economically deprived area where to carelessly grow grapes in great amounts is now a wine sanctuary. Here, productions go so low that very often winemakers bottle the grapes of one sole vineyard to make a great wine that differs from that of the next vineyard in the most interesting ways.
