Wine quotes, grapevines and Priorat

You realize that the grapevine is a very special plant, that by itself a vine wouldn't even yield grapes. And you get enthusiastic about the whole process, because you are developing a creative process as regards that plant.

Wine quote by Lluís Llach, superstar Catalan singer and songwriter turned devoted wine maker.

He fell in love with the small town of Porrera, and since 1994, he makes wine of the Priorat appellation. He owns Cims de Porrera and Vall Llach that make superb wines like Embruix, a lovely sounding name that means spell, a select Priorat wine sold in Northern Europe and the USA.

Lluís Llach set music to a very beautiful poem that sings the green grapevines by the Mediterranean Sea. I have translated the last stanza and published it in the wine guide section of my Mediterranean food recipes web site.
