Finca Dofi Alvaro Palacios, 2016

Generous & Rewarding Single-Vineyard Wine from Priorat

BEHIND THE WINE: 

Alvaro Palacios, a key pioneer in shaping the contemporary Priorat winemaking landscape, has established Finca Dofi as a testament to his expertise. This exceptional vineyard predominantly features Garnacha grapes, complemented by a modest 5% of Cariñena. The Dofi vineyard stands as an impressive example, characterised by carefully placed stakes to support the vines, a commitment to organic viticulture, and a distinctive slope that distinguishes it as an iconic location within the Gratallops village. With a price tag that's less than 10% of the more luxurious L'Ermita, Finca Dofi consistently offers exceptional value, making it an enticing choice for collectors seeking high-quality Spanish red wines.
