Producer Information
Descendientes de J. Palacios is a leading producer of red wines from the Mencia grape in the Bierzo region of northwest Spain. It was founded in 1998, and is a collaboration between Alvaro Palacios of Priorat fame, and his nephew Ricardo Perez Palacios. The venture is credited with bringing the region to much greater prominence on both a national and global stage. Bierzo is a hilly region, and the Palacios vineyards are located on steep hillsides with old bush vines. These are low-yielding, and give wines that are known for their juicy, dark fruit characters with hints of graphite and a dry finish. The range is underpinned by the Ptalos label, made from old vineyards located in various villages around the area. There is also a 'single-village' wine called Corullon, which is sourced from vines which are between 60-100 years old. Decendientes de J. Petalos makes five more single-vineyard wines, and the range-topping La Faraona, which is one of the most expensive and sought-after wines in Spain.
