2021 Camins del Priorat, Álvaro Palacios, Priorat

Predominantly Garnacha, this accessible red gains complexity from Cariñena, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. Red berry perfume and herbal notes are at the forefront combined with some bramble, hints of black pepper and liquorice spice. The tannins are ripe, with a powdery feel and there is a juiciness to the core.

Tasting notes

The more modern and different 2021 Camins del Priorat, a blend of 40% Garnacha, 21% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 15% Cariñena and 6% Syrah, is a little more balsamic with some herbal notes and some dusty tannins. It's powerful with 14.5% alcohol and has good balance. This fermented 100% destemmed in concrete and stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and matured in oak barrels and vats for six months. 246,000 bottles and 2,000 magnums produced. It was bottled from April 2022.
