Compass Room | Thursday 6 January

Alvaro Palacios brings together three wineries situated in three historic regions: Rioja, Priorat and Bierzo. With extremely low yields and vineyards of very old vines, Alvaro Palacios honours the unique characters of exceptional terroir at winemaking, producing wines from Garnacha Tinta, Syrah, Cariñena and Cabernet Sauvignon, which reveal a pure expression of Priorat. All wines are produced organically with a commitment to organic viticulture and natural winemaking practices, such as use of organic fertilisers in the stone-covered, clay soils.
