José. I agree totally. I know Priorat well and love it dearly. The dedication of the growers working the steep costers (slopes) and winemakers is phenomenal, the results are astounding, even for the entry level wines. The price may seem high, compared to other wines, but when you consider all the effort invested in the tiny plots. The Vi de Vila wines are worth every penny.

Priorat is one of my absolute favorite wines! I love to share it with friends since they always have never heard of it but always end up loving it. Great choice!

Will definitely look this up! The region is beautiful but it makes me wonder how the grapes are harvested and brought in for pressing on that terrain? But I’m sure it’s all figured out after 800 years. 😉

I joined my husband on his work trip in Barcelona for a week and fell in love with Prioriat. I would go to this one cafe almost daily for my fix, and I love it when I can find it on any menu. We are spending a few days on Mallorca this year and can't wait to drink it in Spain again!

Alas, Kim, there are so many good wines from Mallorca that you may get distracted!

Had the opportunity to be an agent involved in the sale of a Priorat winery years ago! Fabulous region & wines!

We had the great fortune to take a Catalonian cooking class with Alecia at Catacurian in Gratallops several years ago. While there we were introduced to the incredabke wines of Clos de L'Obac and have been in love with them ever since.

We are always looking for new wines to buy.
