About this wine

Les Terrasses is now effectively Palacios’ “regional” Priorat, sourced from 50+ vineyards across seven villages, many with centenarian vines on steep licorella slopes. The 2022 blend is roughly 60% Garnacha, 39% Cariñena and 1% white grapes, fermented with indigenous yeasts (partly whole cluster) and macerated for over 40 days before ageing about 12 months in a mix of French barriques and larger barrels. The wine shows a deep, vibrant colour and aromas of black raspberry, mulberry, dried flowers, coffee, spice and wet slate. The palate is full but not heavy, combining ripe fruit with notable freshness, refined tannins and a long, very mineral finish.

Alvaro Palacios

Álvaro Palacios is one of Spain’s most influential winemakers, instrumental in the revival of Priorat and Bierzo. His wines, from Les Terrasses to single-vineyard icons, combine old-vine Mediterranean or Atlantic fruit with precision and elegance. They are intense yet balanced, often with a strong mineral and floral signature.
