La Baixada Alvaro Palacios 2022 is a Garnacha from the Priorat region of Spain. This wine originates from a single, high-altitude plot characterised by steep slopes and weathered slate, which force the vines to struggle and concentrate their fruit. Palacios uses a minimal-intervention approach to showcase the ethereal, floral side of the variety, which is often masked by extraction in other regional wines. It displays a delicate, lifted nose of red cherry, dried herbs, white pepper and crushed stones. The texture is silky and lithe, with a vibrant energy that defines the producer`s pursuit of elegance and transparency in Priorat.
