From the estate of the well regarded Lewes collector, Brian Cramp. Descendientes de Palacios
Alvaro Palacios has helped revolutionise the Spanish wine industry by making rich, complex wines in Priorat. Alvaro Palacios interned in Bordeaux at the side of Christian Moueix, the celebrated winemaker of Pomerol châteaus of Pétrus and Trotanoy. Bierzo's principal grape is the obscure, indigenous red variety Mencía. While Bierzo is a relatively new wine appellation (a Denominación de Origen since 1989), it has a wealth of very old vines, planted on extremely steep hillsides, and in this respect it much resembles the Priorat region.
The Descendientes de J. Palacios releases are all 100% Mencía wines.
