CURIOSITIES

Álvaro Palacios arrived in Priorat in 1989, in the town of Gratallops, together with René Barbier, Carles Pastrana and José Luis Pérez, with the intention of transmitting to their wines (Bodegas Álvaro Palacios) all the character of this land. They believed in Priorat, full of clear scents, Mediterranean sun, cliffs and slate, fennel and olive groves, a land with a mystical soul.

Bodegas Álvaro Palacios has 30-hectare vineyards, where the old Garnacha vines grow, under a Mediterranean climate, with so many hours of sunshine and little rain, and the proximity of the sea, which gives it the freshness of the sea breeze in summer, necessary for the fruit to mature while preserving all its aromatic potential. Álvaro Palacios also grows Cariñena, Cabernet Sauvignon and some others, experimentally.

Bodegas Álvaro Palacios creates resounding, fresh and mineral wines, such as L'Ermita and Finca Dofí, wines that are already recognized worldwide.
