"From its founding in the early 1990s, by famed Spanish singer Lluís Llach and notary Enric Costa, Vall Llach winemaking has been governed by a commitment to rigor and quality. The winery lies in the tiny village of Porerra, in southern Catalonia, in the highly acclaimed D.O.Q. Priorat. Here, the magnificent century-old vineyard estates of Vall Llach are home to 60- to 90-year-old Cariñena and Garnacha vines.
Old vines naturally produce low yields, and Vall Llach reduces yields even further through careful vineyard management for densely concentrated wines. Vineyards climb steep slate hillsides, receiving optimum sun exposure and beneficial water deprivation, further concentrating the fruit. Newer plantings of Garnacha, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah add complexity to the old-vine character, and the resulting wines—Vall Llach, Idus, and Embruix—have received high critical acclaim."

Vall Llach Idus 2003
"Full red-ruby. Brooding aromas of blackberry, licorice and minerals. Big, sweet, rich and expansive, with super ripe, smoky flavors. A large-scaled wine that finishes with substantial sweet tannins. Consistent with the character of the 2003 vintage, this is much more accessible and easygoing today than the 2002 version."
