Álvaro Palacios has quickly come to be recognised as one of Spain’s greatest winemakers and with a focus on local varieties from exceptionally old, low-yielding vines, he is consistently crafting some of the country’s finest wines. `Finca Dofi` is mostly Grenache with a small amount of Cariñena from a plot in the village of Gratallops, planted between 1900 and 1940 on a precipitous hillside with typical ‘llicorella’ slate soils. The 2017 is bright and juicy, radiating notes of red cherry, wild Mediterranean herbs, earth and slatey minerality. Svelte and streamlined, with exceptionally fine tannins and a wonderful innate freshness. Sold in hedonistic 300cl format.

Vinous
Deep, brilliant violet. An expansive bouquet evokes fresh red and blue fruits, candied licorice, exotic spices and smoky minerals, and a candied lavender note builds in the glass. Shows impressive depth as well as energy on the palate, offering finely detailed cherry, boysenberry, floral pastille and spicecake flavors sharpened by a hint of smoky minerality on the back half. Youthfully chewy tannins build slowly on a strikingly long, mineral- and floral-tinged finish that shows solid thrust and vibrant lift.Josh Raynolds1st March 2021
