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 2009 L’Ermita has a feminine, sensual bouquet laced with pure raspberry, creme de cassis, orange blossom and lavender aromas with a touch of Seville orange marmalade. The palate is full-bodied, with a gentle but insistent grip. It is bright and lively with precise tannins, the keen thread of acidity belying the potency on the precocious finish, which fans across the mouth like a roll of thunder. There are hints of white pepper and liquorice lingering on the aftertaste of this outstanding Priorat red.
