Embruix de Val Llach

Wine information: Celler Vall Llach was founded at the beginning of the 1990s by the singer Lluís Llach and the notary Enric Costa in Porrera, one of the nine villages in the south of Catalonia that together form the Qualified Designation of Origin (D.O.Q.) Priorat. Vall Llach, Idus de Vall Llach and Embruix of Vall Llach are the names of its three wines, and the celler – celler is Catalan for winery – introduced its first vintage to the market at the end of the year 2000. Celler Vall Llach is fortunate in possessing a selection of magnificent old estates – the so-called trossos – whose 60- to 90-year old Cariñena and Garnacha vines assure an exclusive must for its wines. The produce of these stocks is complemented by the careful purchase of grapes from farms selected for their quality from amongst the oldest and most reputable of the Porrera and Torroja areas. In the early 90s, with the strategy of further refining its wines, Celler Vall Llach planted a number of vineyards with varieties that serve to embellish the traditional Garnacha and Cariñena of the trossos – principally the Merlot, the Cabernet Sauvignon and the Syrah.
