Alvaro Palacios Les Terrasses Velles Vinyes,Priorat 2020 0,75l

Les Terrasses Velles Vinyes by Álvaro Palacios is sourced from old vines rooted in poor slate terraces in Priorat. The blend of Garnacha and Cariñena combines Mediterranean richness with striking, cool minerality. On the nose it offers ripe red and dark berries, dried herbs, floral hints and a touch of liquorice. The palate is powerful yet silky, with a dense core of fruit, fine-grained tannins and precise freshness. Its depth and length make it an excellent partner for flavourful dishes and relaxed evenings. A characterful Priorat that clearly reflects its origin and the signature of one of Spain’s most acclaimed winemakers.

Ageing in French oak gives the old vines additional spice and rounds out the dark fruit.
