Alvaro Palacios L'Ermita 2021

Named the 2015 "Man of the Year" by Decanter Magazine, Alvaro Palacios is on of Spain's leading winemakers and L'Ermita Is his Iconic wine.

Alvaro is the son of Rioja's Palacios Remondo, but spent his early 20s working and studying winemaking outside of Spain. His experience abroad - particularly in Bordeaux - instilled in him a deep passion for great wines and led him to return to Spain with the ambition to make world-class. Palacios was drawn to Priorat and the historic hillsides of slate soil and its traditional grape varieties of Garnacha and Carinena. Now widely considered to be among the more important new Spanish wineries in a generation, Alvaro Palacios embodies the spirit of "The New Spain."

Tasting Notes

Made from Grenache, this wine is deep ruby red with hints of violet. On the nose, intense aromas of ripe black fruits, such as blackberries and plums, intertwined with floral notes of violets and lavender. This iconic wine exudes rich and concentrated flavors of dark berries, with hints of spice, cocoa, and a touch of minerality. Velvety tannins provide structure, leading to a long, elegant finish.
