D.O.Q. Priorat
A forest glade, that magical bald spot where the light breaks through the gloom. Little more to add to the imagination, except that its exquisite palate contains the spiritual essences of the Priorat. Dressed with a white velvet label, like the layers of the Carthusians who started the viticulture in this unique place.
