A. Palacios La Baixada 2022

VERY LIMITED QUANTITY Alvaro Palacios, the heritage of old world viticulture Descendant of a 4 generation of wine producers, the passion of wine runs in Alvaro Palacios blood. At a time when Spain was known for its branded wines, Alvaro Palacios was driven by a greater “wine grower” vision. He wanted to make a wine that embodies its specific terroir, he wanted to Make Great Classic Wines. His search led him to Priorat, in Catalonia, where the Garnacha is the historical queen variety, and it was a revelation to him. This place had everything he sought : a unique place with a legendary wine past, a mystic atmosphere, a century -old vineyards and preserved ancestral winegrowing traditions. Today, his organically farmed vineyard is planted on cool slate soils. Located on steep slopes, it is a constellation of tiny and very demanding plots of very old vines. Guided by the wisdom of the past and a deep respect for nature, he has dedicated himself to creating one of Spain's most iconic wines. La Baixada, the dream of sensuality La Baixada vineyard holds mystery within its reach. The coming years will confirm the relevance of a legend that even now begins to emerge in this spot of hot soils, cold air and vivid memories. The maturity of the warm mineral soils, the sensuality of its plenitude, the structured and attractive tannins with captivating qualities. Here, Garnacha is both robust and subtle, juicy and energetic. Full, fresh, fragrant and enticingly charming, it demands the privilege of being served separately. The 2022 vintage in Gratallops, Priorat: The year of the three heat waves The 2022 vintage was marked by intense heat and a prolonged drought in Priorat, leading to an early harvest. Despite challenging conditions, the vines produced a higher-than-expected yield, with fruit showing remarkable freshness, complexity, and elegance. The extreme weather led to a unique balance between intense flavors and vibrant acidity, with thick grape skins providing natural protection. The wines from this vintage are noted for their deep, earthy character, with a silky harmony and a complexity that reflects the resilience and adaptation of the vines.
