The fact that the slopes are so steep also means that more often than not you have to farm by hand. The tractor can’t get up there. Ok so what about the all important wines? Well the guys who moved into the area in the 90’s took the old vines and introduced some modern winemaking ideas and equipment and by combining the old with the new they began to produce some ex- cellent results. The wine world picked up on it, notably the American Robert Parker (arguably the most infl uential wine critic in the world) and absolutely loved them. They tend to be matured in oak barrels, big and powerful reds, deep plum coloured, high Authorised Dealer alcohol 14 – 15%, fruity but with earthy mineral tones. That may sound like fl owery wine buff twaddle but it’s true, the mineral quality from the slate and quartz comes through to the wines. Priorat wines are known to be expensive but for good reason, as mentioned, no trac- tors so everything is done by hand and the hands on approach guarantees that the grape, which is after all a very delicate fruit, is well cared for. This also means a small production and the process of aging in oak is expensive too as the barrels need to be replaced every 5 years or so. The result then is a high quality, distinct tasting wine, with limited supply and high demand. At it’s peek and before the dreaded crisis some of the fi nest Priorat’s were selling for crazy money, up to $1000 a bottle.
