Les Terrasses is the second wine of Alvaro Palacios. Halfway between the Camins and its older brothers, Les Terrasses is always a wine full of elegance and with a pure expression of Priorat.
It is made of grapes from old vines grown traditionally in several small vineyards in the region, controlled by the winery. In its elaboration, Alvaro Palacios combines stainless steel, concrete and different woods tanks to extract the maximum expression of the grape and of the terroir. The wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, 20% of which are new and 80% are from second and third year and used in the elaboration of other wines: Gratallops, L'Ermita and Finca Dofí.
It is recommended to decant it at least an hour before it is served. A wine with a long life ahead.
Tasting Note
Nice and bright dark cherry colour with violet edges. Wine with a high robe and elegant dense tears.
Intense wine, with fresh, elegant and very expressive aromas. Its good toasted and smoked notes released along with creamy spicy aromas give way to an explosion of juicy notes of red and black fruit on its important mineral background tinged with the freshness provided by the balsamic notes.
Embracing, silky, fresh and very tasty, meaty wine. It is powerful and warm at the attack and has a long and smooth mid palate. Its expressive notes of fruit, along with the fine toasted creamy touches, spices, good chocolate and elegant minerals form a set of sensations which can hardly be forgotten. Excellent and very nice acidity. Rich tannins that become integrated over the time. Very long and very persistent finish.
Alvaro Palacios installed in the town of Gratallops, with the intention to transmit to his wines the character of the DOQPriorat, full of crisp essences of Mediterranean sunshine, cliffs and shale, fennel and olives, a land of mystical soul.
The cellar Alvaro Palacios has a vineyard of 30 years where they grow old vines of Grenache, under a Mediterranean climate, with many hours of sunshine and little rain, and the proximity of the sea, which gives the cool sea breeze summer necessary for the fruit to ripen retaining all its aromatic potential.
