釀酒師Álvaro Palacios接連受Decanter、葡萄酒大師協會封為年度釀酒大師，是1970年代留法釀酒師返鄉潮的年輕人之一；採取法式釀造風格。當時之艱辛，僅有5人堅持下來，至今使Priorat成為西班牙最創新、細緻、要求品質卻又遵循古老釀酒歷史的產區。吸引世界焦點重回Priorat的五人幫當中，最知名的即屬Alvaro Palacios!
正是這支酒，翻轉了Priorat，使其成為西班牙唯二的最高法定產區DOCa，入選RP的世界最偉大的酒莊之一，稀世珍釀世界百大葡萄酒之一，西班牙酒皇之名絕非虛傳。

The flagship, the 2008 L’Ermita, comes from a remarkably steep 4.4 acre, 70-year-old vineyard planted to 100% Garnacha and is aged in 100% new oak. It delivers a profound perfume of exotic spices, kinky wild berry aromas, incense, liquid minerality, black raspberry, and black cherry. In this vintage it is relatively forward with considerable elegance, a sophisticated personality, great depth and balance, and a pure, fruit-filled finish. It is one of the benchmark wines of the DO.
