Daphne Glorian was born in Switzerland but came to Priorat in the 1990's. Her friends René Barbier and Álvaro Palacios convinced her to buy a property there and start working with viticulture. The name Clos Erasmus comes from the dutsch philosopher Erasmus von Rotterdam, who is famous for amongst other works ‘hymn to madness’.
Daphne Glorian ended up becoming one of the pioners in Priorat. From the foundation of the winehouse in 1989 Clos Erasmus has been working with organic agriculture and from 2004 biodynamic. The winehouse produces one of the most famous wines in the world: Clos Erasmus. The quality of the wine is strictly related to the selection of grapes in the field.
