The red wine L'Ermita 2021, produced by Álvaro Palacios in Gratallops, Catalonia, under the Priorat designation of origin, is a wine masterpiece. Álvaro Palacios, renowned Spanish winemaker, has built his reputation by creating exceptional wines primarily based on Priorat Grenache. Since its founding in 1990, the winery has been a pioneer in elevating the Priorat region to the pinnacle of wine excellence in Spain.
This extraordinary wine is a blend that stands out for the predominance of the Garnacha and Samsó (Cariñena) varieties, complemented by a small percentage of white grapes, such as Garnacha blanca, Pedro Ximénez and Macabeo, all grown in the same vineyard. L'Ermita is made with grapes from the plots of Finca L'Ermita, a vineyard located in Gratallops with steep slopes and north and east orientations, at altitudes ranging between 400 and 500 meters. The surface covers 1,44 hectares, with vines between 85 and 105 years old, growing on slate (llicorella) soils with a lamellar structure, arranged vertically and obliquely.
The production of this wine of exceptional quality includes a meticulous process: 100% destemming and gentle crushing, alcoholic fermentation in small wooden vats with bazuqueos, maceration for approximately 45 days and spontaneous malolactic fermentation in barrels.
Buying L'Ermita 2021 wine is to immerse yourself in the winemaking excellence of Álvaro Palacios and experience the authenticity of the Priorat region in every sip.
