The old priory of El Tallat is a monastery built on the highest peak the Sierra of El Tallat, towards the middle of the XIVth century. It inherited the culture of grapevine started in the times of the Roman Empire, and later abandoned under the occupacion of the Moors. Because of its elevated location, it enjoys cold winters and very hot summers with sensible differences of diurnal and nocturnal temperatures. Furthermore, the introduction of a variety of other grapes like Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Riesling has yielded the produccion of a wine of an excellent quality.
