Jordi Vidal initially journeyed to Falset to enroll in oenology school, intending a day trip. However, a twenty-day grape harvest opportunity unexpectedly extended his stay. Years later, a wedding became the catalyst for co-founding the La Conreria d’Escaladei winery with a teacher and a priest. Vidal reflects that while dedicating himself to wine may have limited his financial wealth, it has brought him immense personal fulfillment. His initial short visit transformed into a four-decade commitment to the Priorat region and its winemaking tradition. He values happiness over material possessions, a sentiment born from his long and rewarding life immersed in the world of wine. This unplanned path led to a life deeply rooted in the local community and a passion for viticulture.
