‘Ethos Priorat is a sincere and passionate tribute to this small Catalan wine region, untouched by the passage of time. Elizabeth unveils the secrets of Priorat with such sensitivity and richness of detail, both visually and in writing, that makes this an indispensable book for those who, like me, have been enchanted by the beauty of Priorat or anyone with an interest in wine. This is the story of Priorat told from the inside, by someone who lives here and has fully experienced it, observing nature, meeting the locals, and savouring the wines…’
Miguel Torres M.

‘Elizabeth Hecker’s book is a beautiful and passionate portrait of Priorat and of those who live and work there. We see with her eyes through her haunting, honest photographs. We hear the voices she has heard, the stories she has been told. We learn something of the history of this place over the centuries of human habitation, and the millennia during which its stones and slopes came into being.’
Andrew Jefford

‘Despite the physical beauty of the book, and the compelling stories that the photos tell, this is not a coffee-table book. It is detailed, practical, packed with facts from years of research and walking the vineyards and villages. Ethos Priorat is, quite frankly, a work of art. Hecker’s years of experience culminate in a book that you want to breathe in, slowly, meditatively, deeply. Her immersion in Priorat saturates every page. It’s a paean to a region without obeisance or cliché. It’s a prayer. It’s timeless.’
Tamlyn Currin, JancisRobinson.com

‘There’s a new, very good, and recommended resource for fans of Priorat: a very detailed book from writer and photographer Elizabeth Hecker, who took 15 years to photograph and research the zones, the seasons, the landscapes and people from Priorat to create her beautiful book.’ Luis Guitérrez, Wine Advocate 

‘Elizabeth’s prose is charming, sometimes earnest, grounded in facts and contexts, and when she’s writing about families, full of love. The book as a whole is a considerable achievement.’
Terry Theise

Ethos Priorat is a stunning visual journey through one of Spain’s most significant wine regions. It introduces not only a necessary understanding of the Priorat but, more importantly, a look at the people who have dedicated their lives to the soil, vine, and amazing wines produced here. This book deserves a place amongst the best books on wine.’
