The story of the radical transformation of the Priorat is epic and exciting. In just a few years, it was no longer a depressed region but one of the most prestigious wine-growing areas in the world. The protagonists of this story are, of course, the people of the region itself, but also… the Magnificent Five. This is the nickname given to a group made up by René Barbier, Daphne Glorian-Solomon, Álvaro Palacios, José Luis Pérez and Carlos Pastrana. At the beginning of the eighties, there were five crazy, visionary and brave young people who would end up revolutionising the wine sector in Spain.
