Vall Llach

Cellar 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. Since its inception, the cellar’s processes and their application have been governed by rigid adherence to two guiding principles: rigour and quality.

Celler Vall Llach owns and rents a group of century-old estates, known to people from Priorat as the "trossos".
Chosen from among the best in the area of Porrera and Torroja, they guarantee a grape which is extraordinary and exclusive to their wines. These old vines, chosen for the magnificent age of their stocks, are located in areas with highly enviable conditions due to their surroundings, wine-processing possibilities, hours of sunshine and height above sea level. Their slopes are impressive to the eye, preventing any kind of mechanized farming which forces an intimate and exclusive relationship with the wine grower.

In the early nineties, Celler Vall Llach started some new plantations intended to complete the Celler's wine producing possibilities: a group of estates with complex wine producing possibilities, ranging from gentle valleys to the highest peaks. Four basic varieties were chosen: Garnacha, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. The last three varieties are from outside the region and produce highly original results when combined with the unique personality of the Priorat.
