The Story
The wine is a tribute to the monks of the valiant Carthusian order who arrived in what is now the Priorat in 1095 and began growing grapes. In 1835, a violent mob destroyed the work of a lifetime and plundered the Carthusian monastery. These events later culminated in the disentailment under Mendizábal. In 1996, the Torres family began planting vineyards on hillsides rich in slate stone known as llicorella.
