Just a perfect expression of the terroir Priorat is known for. ‘Llicorella’ soil is made up of creviced reddish black slate and mica quartz blocks filled with clay. This terroir is perfect for starving the vines enough to slow its vegetative growth and concentrate on the ripening of the grapes. Charlotte and Christopher Cannan purchased 10 hectares of abandoned terraces overlooking the cool breezy Ebro Valley in 1997. After some treacherous vineyard work to revitalize the property and the addition of 2500 60 year old vines, the estate is in full swing producing a delectable ‘new wave’ Priorat wine.
