Les Terrasses is Alvaro Palacios' old-vine Garnacha and Cariñena (Velles Vinyes) from more than 100 steep, terraced parcels across Priorat's villages.

Deep garnet, it offers graphite, ripe raspberry and violet, with oak spice and earthy slate.

Medium to full-bodied, with silky tannins, warm Garnacha fruit and Cariñena's mineral backbone, it finishes long with graphite and herbs.

Serve with braised lamb, grilled quail with romesco or a lamb tagine.

Tasting notes
▾

Deep garnet red with ruby reflections. Complex and evocative nose of graphite, ripe raspberry, and violet with elegant oak spice and earthy slate undertones. Medium to full-bodied palate with silky, well-structured tannins and a core of concentrated dark fruit. The Garnacha delivers warmth and generosity while the Cariñena adds backbone and mineral tension. Gentle and honest expression of traditional Priorat with clean, harmonious balance. Long finish with lingering graphite, dark berry, and subtle herbal complexity.
