Bierzo Descendientes de J. Palacios Villa de Corullon 2011
The wine
This wine is vinified in wooden vats and matured in French oak barrels. It is cherry red in colour and reveals wonderfully aromatic notes, although it does need time to open up. Red fruit, floral, spicy, mineral and balsamic notes enhance a fresh and very flavoursome palate. These same aromas are lifted further by a well integrated acidic quality, a pleasant tannic backbone and an especially long finish.
About the Producer Descendientes de J. Palacios
Alvaro Palacios and his nephew Ricardo Pérez Palacios established this highly reputed Spanish domaine. Alvaro Palacios is one of the most renowned winegrowers in th Iberian peninsula. In 1998, the two men fell in love with an almost inaccessible, low-yielding vineyard high up in an isolated mountain village. Motivated by a philosophy akin to the Burgundy ethos, it produces single varietals. The range includes “grands crus” which are made from the most inaccessible parcels of vines.
