Priorat, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has become known as one of the world’s most unique and rewarding places to make powerful yet mineral-driven and food friendly wine. Perhaps no other wine region in the world so perfectly toes the line between ancient tradition and modern winemaking techniques. Especially when combined with a quest to partake of the many Catalonian specialties prepared by the world class chefs here, an immersion via tasting the mind blowing wines is an epicurean traveler’s dream trip.
