As it is said it Catalan, Al pot petit hi ha la bona confitura which roughly translated to English means, “big things come in small packages”. I bring this up as every waking moment of my last two months has been consumed with the wines of DOQ Priorat as I prepare the second edition for the Vinologue series. Priorat is a small region with even smaller cellars in it. In fact there are single cellars in Penedès that produce more than the entire region of Priorat.
But nestled amongst the slate and 13th century villages are these small cellars producing their small quantities of wines. Of course when producing so little of something, it’s very easy to ensure that the quality of each item is the highest possible and so we find these hidden little gems tucked away.
