L'Ermita
L'Ermita, le joyau de la couronne, 1.40ha en Priorat , est tout simplement magnifique. Conçu à partir de vignes de 76 à 105 - ans , qui lui procure un parfum exceptionnel de cerises rouges et noires, écorce de mandarine et d'épices exotiques.
La sensation parfumée continue en bouche avec des notes de fleurs de cerisier alliées aux fruits et des notes minérales sombres de granit humide .
C'est l'un de ces vins rares qui parvient à combiner une texture ronde et pulpeuse avec un profil fin et frais en bouche . C'est un vin complet harmonieux avec une interminable finale. Álvaro désigne l Ermita comme « une force contenue » et un « élixir en direct» ; on ne peut nier que L'Ermita peut être considéré comme l un des meilleurs vins du monde...

The Estate Alvaro Palacios
Not far from Tarragona, Alvaro Palacios created his own estate in 1989 by investing in the lands of Priorat, a region with volcanic soil and steep slopes that had been neglected until then. A true precursor in the region, his success was immediate and he made a major contribution to the development of Spanish wines, following in the footsteps of his father Remondo Palacios, who made the wines of the Rioja region known worldwide
Influenced by prestigious winemakers such as J.P Moueix de Pétrus, Alvaro Palacios drastically reduced yields in order to produce the best possible wine. His dream is to produce a wine halfway between Pétrus and Penfold's Grange. Considered by the Wine Spectator to be "Spain's most sensational winemaker", the talented winemaker strives to hand-pick (especially when you see the slopes...) fully ripe grapes from 30 year old vines to produce predominantly Grenache or Carignan wines, his Les Terrasses being the most famous, both powerful and silky. He has recently begun to invest in the Bierzo region with the same intentions and discipline. A winemaker to follow closely...
Come and discover these famous vintages of Alvaro Palacios, who is only just beginning his rise. You will find ideal matches with powerful dishes or Mediterranean cuisine for great moments of pleasure. Be sure to enjoy all these wines in moderation.
