Priorato

Priorato - called Priorat in Catalan - is a small, unique pocket of black hills where powerful, deep red wines of superb quality have been made for over eight centuries. Located in the province of Tarragona, the DO leaped to fame in the last decade after producers began to apply new technologies in their winemaking. Since then the vineyards, planted at the beginning of the eighties with French as well as native varieties, have produced the acclaimed ‘new Prioratos’ . Today these wines have become some of the best known not only in Spain but also internationally

Alvaro Palacios L' Ermita 2010

" The nose is more understated when compared directly to the 2009, the scents of those warm slate soils coming through underneath the precise damson, boysenberry and raspberry fruit that unfurls with each swirl of the glass. The palate is full-bodied and intense rather than powerful, demonstrating more tension and precision than the 2009. Here, there is life-affirming freshness, and though it does not have the same weight and richness as the 2009, one finds a different expression of the old vines, one that is defined by its finesse and clarity, as if the lens is perfectly focused. There is a sensational finish of blood orange and maraschino cherry suffused with shimmering vivacity. Alvaro believes this will gain greater volume once it is in bottle. This is so good it may bring tears to the eyes! " The Wine Advocate

Alvaro Palacios Vi De Vila Gratallops 2008

"The 2008 Gratallops (one of the 8 villages of Priorat) is made up of 70% Garnacha with the balance Carinena and Syrah. The nose proffers brooding black fruits, wood smoke, mineral, lavender, and spice box. On the palate it is full-bodied, savory, and concentrated with a deft interplay of elegance and power. This lengthy effort has the balance to evolve for 3-4 years and will offer a drinking window extending through 2023 if not longer. " Robert Parker

Alvaro Palacios Vi De Vila Gratallops 2010

The sensual 2010 Gratallops is sourced from several tiny parcels around the village that lends its name. It has a lovely, sensual bouquet where the Garnacha really shines: boysenberry, lavender, potpourri and a touch of kirsch that are all beautifully defined. The palate is medium-bodied with a fleshy, well-defined entry, blackberry, raspberry, white pepper and a little game vying for attention. The tannins are fine and supple, while the finish is harmonious and caressing.

Alvaro's family asked him to save the family property and make the wines all they could be. He has clearly succeeded. His La Montesa Rioja, Les Terrasses Priorato and La Faraona Bierzo are among the many crowd favourites. Lime flesh in nose, fresh fennel roots and vulva, clear and transparent. Pure viura must. It has a quartz-like texture, nimble, vibrant in a mixture where the juice of white fruits such as the green crunchy pear, the white peach and magnolia give way to m
