Monday, December 28, 2015 - Last wine of Monday Tapas Day at home. Hey, have a read of how wine-crazed the Palacios family is and how luck we are to have them: "The Palacios family are making some of Spain's most exciting wines. We have Alvaro Palacios, who makes stunning wines in Priorat. Then there's the Bierzo project of Descendientes de J. Palacios in Corrullón, a partnership between Alvaro and nephew Ricardo Perez Palacios. Alvaro's brother, Rafael Palacios, makes excellent wines in Valdeorras. And finally, we have the family property of Palacios Remondo in Rioja." We think they definitely are The First Family of Wine in Spain!
Dark, black red on the eye. Warm, spicy and ripe berries on the nose. Voluptuous, spicy, warm mouthfeel and a touch fruity-jammy on the palate. Nice structure. Pleasant way to end the day with this Granache and seafood paella.
