Priorat

North of Barcelona, Priorat produces some of Spain’s finest and most age-worthy wines – rivalling those of Rioja and Ribera del Duero. Rich and powerful reds are made with old-vine Garnacha and Cariñena, often supplemented by Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah.

The wines of Priorat

Vines made their first appearance on the steep, arid hillsides of Priorat thanks to monks in the 12th century, but after phylloxera and the Spanish Civil War ravaged the region, the true potential of its slate soils wasn’t fulfilled until a group of producers including the now-celebrated René Barbier, Alvaro Palacios and Mas Doix arrived.
