Can anyone recommend Priorat Wineries to visit?

Posted by on

Hi there.

My parents are wine lovers. They've already done La Rioja, and then I learned that Priorat is the only wine region in Spain with the DOCa classification.

I found a wine tour I'm interested in here: https://www.barcelonainsideandout.com/tours/priorat-wine-tour/

The others felt pre-packaged. And I liked that this one lets you choose the wineries to visit. Feels more personalized.

Says we can visit:

  • Two of Priorat’s top wineries
  • One exciting new producer

I'd like to visit Alvaro Palacios' vineyard. Any other recommendations?

We're only going to be there for a day, so would love to get the most from it.

As a side comment, Rioja DOC (not to be mistaken with La Rioja autonomous region) is the oldest DO in Spain and is Denominación de Origen Calificada, as also is Priorat. Rioja DOC is divided into Rioja Alta (in La Rioja region exclusively); Rioja Alavesa (in Basque Country exclusively) and Rioja Oriental (in La Rioja and Navarre regions).

Our Priorat wine tour was way back in 2017. I guess our small-group tour was "pre-packaged", since everything was set out in advance, but all three wineries were great, and the tastings were so generous that I had to pass on the last couple of wines.

I can remember the name of one - Clos Figueras. It was the most "touristy" - we had the other two wineries to ourselves and met the owners, and Clos Figueras was fairly busy by comparison - but the food and wine were excellent.

What about https://www.vallllach.com/en/ in Porrera??... Not only do they have an excellent prize-winning product but it's also the vineyard of a celebrity here in Catalonia, a very famous singer-songwriter and also the current president of the Catalan National Assembly, the all-powerful and very influential grassroots organisation of the indy movement.
