‘Ethos Priorat: Listen, the wine is talking...’

by Elizabeth Hecker

Ethos Priorat is an experience, a journey into the life within the wines of the Priorat. Despite its isolation it has quickly become one of the most important wine regions in the world. The reasons for this are explained in three simple chapters: Nature, Spirit and Wine. Nature provides an in-depth look at the Priorat terroir as well as growth and sustainability. Spirit is the human part of the story recollecting history through the formation of the villages along with the people’s relationship with the vines through the seasons. The final chapter, Wine, is a sensory journey from vineyard to cellar as the fruit transforms into a Priorat wine. Experts in regional history, geology, viticulture and winemaking make it a definitive resource about the distinctions of this tiny wine region in Spain. Full-colour photographs flow throughout the story from beginning to end leaving a lasting, and comprehensive impression about the region and its wines. Perhaps through our love of wine, and the story of the Priorat, we will surrender to our senses and remember how important it is to take care of nature so nature can take care of us.

‘Ethos Priorat is a sincere and passionate tribute to this small Catalan wine region, untouched by the passage of time. Elizabeth unveils the secrets of Priorat with such sensitivity and richness of detail, both visually and in writing, that makes this an indispensable book for those who, like me, have been enchanted by the beauty of Priorat or anyone with an interest in wine. This is the story of Priorat told from the inside, by someone who lives here and has fully experienced it, observing nature, meeting the locals, and savouring the wines…’
