Tasting Notes

Racy red bramble berries with notes of hibiscus, pomegranates, cochineal and cherries. Some chewy tannins add more gravity to the otherwise medium-bodied palate. Juicy, firm and stony in the medium-long finish. Better in 2025.

Blend: 40% Garnacha, 30% Samso, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Syrah

About Palacios

An ancient, spiritual and fascinating landscape.
A small universe of supernatural force.
El Priorat, the mineral essence of a unique Mediterranean.

In 1989 we arrived in this small region of crowded villages and centuries-old vineyards hanging from impossible slopes of slate.

TRADITION AND MYSTICAL FOOTPRINT

The Escaladei Charterhouse developed the Priorat vineyard since the 12th century. Their presence forged a deep identity, preserved by the hard work of ancestral viticulture.

The steep soils of brittle slate, known as llicorella, are subjected to an extremely dry climate, illuminated by the mirror of the sea.

A PURE HARMONY

In the small steep vineyards of Garnacha, Cariñena and other white ones, we find an atavistic, simple and clear charm, which is expressed in some unique wines.
