Description
This week we are taking on one of Spains most prestigious wine regions and that is the region of Priorat. Just in case you were left asking yourself last week if Spanish Wine Law could get any more complicated, well this episode is here to answer that question, and the answer is: YES!  Priorat had it's own unique labelling terms, aging definitions and vine age definitions as well as it is part of Catalunya, an autonomously governed region inside Spain that has it's own rules and regulations regarding wine. FuN!  I used some great resources:  The Oxford Companion to Wine, 4th Edition by Jancis Robinson  The World Atlas of Wine, 8th Edition by Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson.   1001 Wines to Try Before you Die by Neil Beckett  https://www.decanter.com/features/priorat-247387/ We also talked about some great wines:  Clos de L'Obac:  https://obac.es/ Clos Mogador:  http://www.closmogador.com/asp/vi.asp?prod=vi&idioma=EN Clos Erasmus:  http://www.closerasmus.com/ Mas Martinet:  https://www.masmartinet.com/?lang=en Finca Dofi:  https://www.decanter.com/wine-reviews/spain/priorat-1/alvaro-palacios-finca-dofi-priorat-spain-2020-51892 Mas de la Rosas:  https://www.torres.es/en/wines/mas-de-la-rosa If you spot something that needs correcting or you would like to request an episode you can reach out at [email protected] or check out the House Wine Instagram @housewinepodcast  This podcast is 100% independent, it is written, narrated and produced by myself, Rachael so if you heard something you liked then scroll down and leave a comment or review, that is the best way that you can support the show.  Until next week, I hope you drink something delicious!  Music Credit: Too Cool by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4534-too-cool License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

This episode is called Cyprus but it really should be called Cyprus AKA Commandaria, the story of the worlds oldest wine still made today. We cover a lot in 23 minutes with this one - The Crusades, Monks, PDO laws, native grapes but I think that the real take away here is that if you come across...
