Made by the legendary Priorat winemaker, Alvaro Palacios, Aubaguetes is a rugged, powerful and highly expressive wine from a single ancient 1.28ha vineyard in the village of Bellmunt. The 2017 is a blend of 75% Garnacha and 23% Cariñena, with 2% Garnacha Blanca and Macabeo, that underwent a long maceration of 49 days and an élevage of 16 months in various oak vessels. Annual production is incredibly small due to miniscule yields, with just 2,200 bottles produced in 2017.
