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。

Tasting L'Ermita is always an emotional moment, as it's one of the great reds from Spain. The 2015 L'Ermita is 91% Garnacha, 8% Cariñena and 1% split between Garnacha Blanca, Macabeo and PX from the most famous single vineyard in Priorat. It fermented in oak foudre with indigenous yeasts and also had its élevage in foudre, which lasted for 15 months. The juicy freshness of this 2015, citric and vibrant, makes it very different from the rest of the portfolio. This is transparent, precise, like laser cut, chiseled, subtle and elegant, showing very open and expressive, with great freshness and the core of Mediterranean flavors.
