“Juicy, Stimulating, Value for Money”
The wine made by Alvaro Palacios, an acclaimed wine maker in Priorat, is simply fantastic. It is the perfect combination of the best of Tempranillo and Garnacha varieties. Attractive medium ruby colour and beautiful nose of raspberry, cranberry, black cherry, chocolate and hint of leather. On palate, it is a medium+ bodied yet refreshing wine, with fruit-forward flavours and a certain tannic strength. A great value Rioja jóven wine.

Tannin: Medium+
Acidity: Medium+

From the winery:
“A wine with an intense colour and violet reflections, on the nose its scent is enhanced by hints of fresh fruit, cherry with spicy notes that blend with great balance and elegance to those of sweet and vanilla expressed from the wood. The taste is enveloping, silky, soft tannins, rich and persistent finish.”

“Bodegas Palacios Remondo is based in Alfaro in the Rioja. This old family firm has been revitalized by the arrival of Alvaro Palacios who has already made his name, starting from scratch, with his extraordinary Priorato wines. He is now intent on bringing the family Rioja company into the front line. The wines are made from their own vineyards, a rarity in the Rioja region.
Palacios is deeply committed to organic viticulture and natural winemaking practices, such as use of organic fertilizers in the stone-covered, clay soils. All wines are unfiltered and clarified only with egg whites, no exogenous yeasts or commercial compounds are added to the wines and sulfites are kept to minimum levels.” – Importer’s note
