Having spent several years working at Château Pétrus, Alvaro Palacios established his own winery in 1989 in the less well-known Catalonian region of Priorat, where he had managed to find some incredible parcels of exceptionally old, low-yielding vines. In a relatively short space of time, he has gained a reputation as one of Spain’s most significant winemakers and his wines are comfortably some of the best in the region.
First released in 2015, Aubaguetes is a rugged, powerful and distinctly mineral wine from a single ancient vineyard in the village of Bellmunt. The 2016 instalment is a slightly modified blend of 78% Garnacha and 21% Cariñena, with 1% Garnacha Blanca and Macabeo. Annual production is incredibly small, with around 1,500 bottles from this vintage.
