The evolving seriousness of Terrasses eventually left room for 'Camins del Priorat.' Alvaro Palacios had never wanted to be known solely for expensive "trophy" wines, and with Camins, he found the opportunity to create something special. Drawing on his wealth of vineyard sources, Alvaro is aiming to produce a wine that is affordably priced, but which also stays true to his vision of Priorat-powerful but elegant, approachable but restrained.

Winemaking Notes: Fermentation is in stainless steel, cement and large wooden vats. Aging for 8 months in barrels and wooden vats (no new). No filtration, fining with egg whites.
