Gratallops: The jewel of Priorat
Our journey begins in Gratallops, the epicenter of the Priorat region. Nestled among hills, this picturesque village is surrounded by terraced vineyards. Here, the schistous soil and the Mediterranean climate create a unique terroir that is reflected in each bottle. Explore the cobbled streets, soak up the historic atmosphere and get ready to taste iconic wines like Clos Magador, a rich and complex Priorat wine with notes of black fruits, spices and minerals. A masterful blend of Grenache, Carignan, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah.
Falset: Charming front door
Continuing our route, we arrive at Falset, the county capital. This medieval town offers a charming introduction to the culture of the Priorat. Stroll through the lively streets, discover picturesque squares and enjoy the local hospitality. Falset is not only a convenient starting point but also a treasure to explore.
The breathtaking cellars of the Priorat
The magic of the Wine Route lies in its iconic cellars. Estates such as Clos Mogador, Scala Dei and Mas Martinet reveal the complex art of winemaking. Guided tours immerse you in the history of the estate, from harvest to aging in oak barrels. Each winery has its own story to tell and each tasting is an invitation to explore the nuances of Priorat.
Terroir and character with every sip
Priorat wines are a symphony of flavours, shaped by the exceptional terroir of the region. Centuries-old vines, schist soils and a warm climate create wines of extraordinary complexity. Grape varieties such as Grenache and Carignan flourish on this terroir, offering notes of ripe fruit, spices and minerals with each glass.
cultural exploration
The Priorat Wine Route is more than just a wine tasting. Explore historic villages such as Bellmunt del Priorat, Porrera and El Lloar.
