Availability: In stock
Produced by legendary bodega Celler Vall-Llach, the wine Vall Llach Horta-Colomer Vi de Paratge from DOQ Priorat is what some may call a white unicorn.
This young Spanish white wine is made from an equal blend of White Carignan and Grey Carignan, two rare Mediterranean varieties in the process of being recovered for wine production. In 2016, they were grafted to a vineyard planted in 1996 in Paratge Horta Colomer, a lieux-dit in the vicinity of Porrera, one of Priorat’s freshest areas.
The grapes were fully destemmed before fermenting in 500-litre clay jars for about 3 weeks. After that, this white wine from Priorat was aged in the jars for 3 months.
The white wine Vall Llach Horta-Colomer Vi de Paratge 2024 was bottled in March 2025.
Only 534 bottles produced. A unicorn indeed!

|---|---|
| Nose | Thought still in the making, this blend of White Carignan and Grey Carignan already shows remarkable character and complexity. Southern Rhône-ish, with peachy ripe fruit, ripe apple, aniseed, dried flowers and smoke, nuanced by some metallic and spicy notes. |
| Palate | This white wine of the Celler Vall-Llach winery has a medium-high acidity and a richly textured mid palate, with a lively mineral undercurrent below a layer of Mediterranean herbs, graphite and citrus. Original and intriguing, with a very long finish. |
| Our personal opinion | The wine Vall Llach Horta-Colomer Vi de Paratge 2024 is a superb effort that will improve spectacularly in the bottle. |
