Les Terrasses Álvaro Palacios 2022 is a red blend of primarily Garnacha and Cariñena sourced from various plots in the Priorat region of Spain. The 2022 vintage demonstrates a structured profile, emphasising the distinctive character of its schist soils. Aromas of ripe black fruit, dried herbs and mineral notes emerge on the nose. The palate is dense and full-bodied with firm, ripe tannins. Álvaro Palacios has been a pioneer in Priorat and has helped to elevate the region`s reputation for high-quality wines.

I tasted this still-unbottled regional red in January 2024. The 2022 Les Terrasses Velles Vinyes has grapes from 53 vineyards in seven villages, and in 2022, it was 60% Garnacha, 39% Cariñena and 1% white grapes, higher in Cariñena than in recent years in this extremely warm and dry year. It fermented with indigenous yeasts in oak vats with part of full clusters, had a 41-day maceration and should spend some 12 months in French barriques and larger barrels. It`s fully ripe at 14.5% alcohol while keeping a pH of 3.55 and 5.05 grams of acidity , parameters of very good freshness. This is always a little earthier and with a beautiful touch of rusticity showing the character of Priorat. It`s ripe without excess; all the 2022s show surprisingly fresh for such a warm and dry year. They expected to fill 113,000 bottles around March 2024. - Luis Gutiérrez
