Alvaro Palacios Camins Del Priorat

A vibrant and characterful red from one of Spain’s most distinctive wine regions. Crafted predominantly from native Garnacha and Carinena, it reflects the rugged landscape of Priorat, where steep vineyards and dark licorella slate soils help produce wines with depth, minerality and remarkable concentration.

Tasting Profile:

• Appearance: Deep ruby-purple with a concentrated core.
• Nose: Intense aromas of liquorice, blackcurrant and blackberry mingle with delicate violet and subtle mineral notes.
• Palate: Rich and expressive, revealing ripe blueberry, fig and blackcurrant alongside roasted coffee and dark chocolate.
• Finish: Long and refined, with fine tannins, a pronounced mineral backbone and lingering dark fruit and spice.

Meet The Wine Producer Behind The Bottle

A brief look at the producer’s heritage and winemaking approach.

Alvaro Palacios

Alvaro Palacios is one of the most influential figures in modern Spanish wine, renowned for helping transform the international perception of Spain's fine wines. Born into the Palacios Remondo wine family in Rioja, he chose to develop his own winemaking path after studying in Bordeaux, where he gained experience at Château Petrus.

Returning to Spain, Palacios began searching for exceptional vineyard sites capable of producing wines with genuine character and ageing potential. In 1989, he established himself in Priorat, a rugged region of steep slopes and ancient vines that had fallen into decline. Working with old Garnacha and other Mediterranean varieties, he helped demonstrate the extraordinary quality that could be achieved from the region's dramatic slate soils.

His success in Priorat was followed by a return to the family roots in Rioja, while another major chapter began in Bierzo, where he worked with his nephew Ricardo Perez to establish Descendientes de J. Palacios. Across these regions, his philosophy has remained focused on exceptional vineyards, native varieties and wines that express their individual landscapes.

Today, Alvaro Palacios is regarded as one of Spain's leading winemakers, with his work playing a pivotal role in the country's emergence as a producer of world-class terroir-driven wines.
