Description:

Álvaro Palacios is arguably the leading figure in the winemaking revolution that took place in Spain in the 1980s. Energetic and passionate, Palacios admires Burgundy and other wine regions with a monastic past. A media-friendly maverick, he has become a true celebrity in the world of Spanish wine. He is currently in charge of a small wine kingdom which produces some of the best labels from Bierzo, Rioja and Priorat.

Honored as Decanter's Man of the year in 2015, Alvaro Palacios personifies modern Spanish wine and almost single-handedly put Priorat on the wine map over the last 20 years. Born into a winemaking family based in Rioja, Palacios went on to forge his own path in Priorat in 1989, a hitherto neglected and underrated wine growing region. Today his wines have won him cult status and are absolutely salivated about in the international Wine Media.

Tasting Note: Smooth and refined red wine, boasting vibrant cherry and plum undertones complemented by hints of black olive and mountain herbs. Delicate yet firm tannins, alongside subtle yet lively acidity, contribute to the wine's elegant character.
