![Cork Talk with Ricard Rofes](https://timatkin.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Ricard_Rofes99am7_300x300.jpg)
A Catalan to his fingertips, Ricard Rofes is the winemaker at Scala Dei in Priorat, in charge of one of Spain’s greatest historic properties. A lover of Garnacha, Ricard talked to me about monks, heretics, co-operatives, slate soils and why his native region is returning to its roots after taking a wrong turn towards Bordeaux in the 1990s.
