Alvaro Palacios, Camins Del Priorat (2024)

From Priorat DOCa in Catalonia, Spain, a dry red wine made mainly from Garnacha and Cariñena, with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, and small amounts of white grapes in the blend. Aromas of ripe red cherry, blackberry, plum, Mediterranean herbs, licorice, spice, and crushed slate lead to a medium- to full-bodied palate with fresh acidity, polished tannins, dark-fruit concentration, and a mineral finish. This Spanish red wine is a strong choice for those looking for an approachable Priorat with depth, structure, and the signature character of llicorella slate soils. Pair with grilled lamb, pork, charcuterie, roasted vegetables, mushroom dishes, aged cheeses, or tapas with chorizo and peppers.
