At National Best Pricing

Daphne Glorian, who was born in Switzerland, seems an unlikely figure to be a leading winemaker in Priorat. However she fell in love with the region, moving there to help revive old vines and make the best wines she can and she’s now a rock star in the region on the level of Palacios and Barbier.

Clos Erasmus represents her finest wine and a truly spectacular example of what the region is capable of.

A Top Malbec Blend

From Michel Rolland

If you send Michel Rolland to Argentina with the mission of making the best possible wine he can, you’re going to get a Bordeaux influenced blend based on Malbec.
