“Paradise for red wines ”
“I have travelled this country for 30 years (Spain) and I have that found that there are only two zones which can be classed as paradises for terroir and these are to be found in the North of Spain: with Atlantic influences the Ribeira Sacra and Bierzo and the Mediterranean Catalonia in Priorat and Montsant. Forget for a while Rioja and Ribera. These are the only places to find true interest and personality.”

SOMMELIER
“The other Priorat”
“Recent Spanish successes in the production of high quality wines at reasonable prices is opening up a path for its lesser known wine regions. It is a process which repeats itself: as sommeliers and consumers find new values in different parts of the country, these wines take off and gain popularity and price and the search for new values starts all over again. This is the story of the Montsant wine appellation.
