Alvaro Palacios Les Terrasses 2021

Alvaro Palacios Les Terrasses 2021 is a full-bodied red wine from the Priorat region of Catalonia. Álvaro Palacios has come to be recognised as one of Spain’s greatest contemporary winemakers. With a focus on local varieties from exceptionally old, low-yielding vines, he is consistently crafting some of the country’s finest wines. The Les Terrasses cuvée is a blend of old-vine fruit from nine different villages within the Priorat appellation. The 2021 consists of 57% Garnacha Tinta and 42% Cariñena, with 1% made up of various white grape varieties. Characterised by plush red and black fruits with mineral and balsamic nuances, this is a concentrated and classically proportioned Priorat whose fine structure is balanced by refreshing acidity.

• Appearance: Bright ruby red with purple hues.
• Nose: Aromatic bouquet of red berries, such as raspberries and cherries, accompanied by floral hints of violets and a subtle touch of Mediterranean herbs.
• Palate: Medium-bodied with vibrant fruit flavors, including ripe strawberries and plums, layered with notes of spices like black pepper and a hint of licorice. Soft tannins and refreshing acidity lead to a smooth and lingering finish.
