Fun Facts:  This remote, rocky hillside just south of Barcelona is where the celebrated Priorat wine region is located.  Dating back to Roman times, the wines are concentrated and full of character thanks to the very low yields produced by the region’s harsh conditions.  The areas steep slopes are built like a staircase which make it impossible to machine harvest. Expressive, fresh and less oak than traditional Spanish reds, Priorat wines have gained a loyal following in Spain and beyond.
