Álvaro Palacios Finca Dofi wine is a sublime Spanish elixir exhibiting powerful concentration of dark fruits. This Priorat produced red wine showcases a fine blend of predominantly Garnacha and a pinch of local varieties, boasting velvety textures whilst oozing complexity. Redolent of black cherry, exotic spices and balsamic shades, it further hints at earthy minerality derived from the llicorella – Catalan's fabled black slate. A marked acidity ensures this wine remains impressively balanced. Aged in French oak, it whispers a hint of subtle toastiness. A delightful testament to Álvaro Palacios's innovative viticulture.

Tasting Notes

It's classy, elegant and fresh with very clean aromas and flavors, not lacking concentration or power. There is superb definition and purity here; it has to be the finest and most elegant Dofí to date.
