Having studied oenology in Bordeaux, Álvaro Palacios established his winery in Priorat back in 1989 with the aim of utilising fruit from extremely old, low-yielding vines and modern winemaking techniques to create world-class wines truly expressive of their terroir. This cuvée represents his “village” red with fruit being sourced from several vineyards across the village of Gratallops. The 2016 is comprised of 85% Garnacha, 13% Cariñena and 2% white grapes, offering up wonderful open-knit texture and delicious notes of bright red fruits, wild anise-tinged herbs and cool, slatey minerality. This is a perfect example of high quality Priorat with excellent harmony of ripeness, structure, power and elegance.

Vinous
Limpid violet color. Spice-accented raspberry, cherry and violet pastille aromas are complemented by suggestions of exotic spices and woodsmoke that build in the background. Offers juicy, palate-staining red fruit liqueur, spicecake and floral pastille flavors that convey a suave blend of power and finesse. Finishes with impressive, mineral intensity, with harmonious tannins supporting a very long spice-driven finish.Josh Raynolds1st April 2019
