Alvaro Palacios Les Aubaguetes | 2020 | 750ml

About This Wine

Les Aubaguetes is a single vineyard of under two hectares in Bellmunt del Priorat, planted around 1901. Álvaro Palacios bought it in 2014 and made the first wine from the 2015 vintage. It is classified as a Gran Vinya Classificada, the top tier of Priorat's vineyard system.

The vineyard faces north and stays shaded, on the region's llicorella slate soils. The wine is mostly old-vine Garnacha with some Cariñena and a little white grape, with the blend varying by year, and it ages for well over a year in large wood.

Tasting Notes

Complex aromas of herbs, blood orange, juicy fruit and flowers, with savory, iron-like notes. On the palate it is precise, delicate and elegant, opening up layer by layer.
