Ferrer Bobet is one of the hottest names in Priorat, producing some of the most impactful wines in the region.

Winemaker Eric Prissette started out in Bordeaux in the 90’s and then wandered over to Languedoc to see what the terroir and grapes could offer.

If you love a juicy Syrah, grab this one up at half the price of the typical Northern Rhone!
