Grapes from Faustino's oldest vines are used for this wine, resulting in full-bodied and powerful grapes. These grapes are harvested by hand and then pressed immediately. They are then aged for an impressive 26 months in French and American oak barrels. After this oak aging, the Faustino I undergoes three years of bottle aging in the cellars, resulting in a stunning result. The first Spanish wines left the winery over 150 years ago. Bodega Faustino manages the entire production process itself. All the grapes for its Reservas and Gran Reservas are grown in-house, which is highly unusual in Rioja. The entire production process, from vine to bottle, remains under one roof. The success of this approach is evident in Faustino's significant international success. The family business was soon forced to expand with more vineyards, wine barrels, and cellars. Bodega Faustino now owns over 800 hectares of vineyards and exports its wines to more than forty countries. The winery can hold approximately 50,000 oak barrels and maintains a permanent inventory of approximately nine million bottles.\n\n\n\n \u003ch2\u003eThe aroma and taste of the Faustino 1 Gran Reserva Rioja\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n The wines are typically presented in frosted, Burgundian-style bottles with a Rembrandt-style label depicting an 18th-century Spanish nobleman. The Gran Reserva bottles are also wrapped in gold wire mesh. The Faustino I Rioja has an intense, warm, and complex aroma. The palate is particularly pronounced, with spicy aromas of vanilla and oak. There's also plenty of ripe black fruit, spices like pepper and bay leaf, a touch of toffee, and coffee grounds. This is a superb wine for true connoisseurs: powerful, rich, and with a very long finish.

The vines are positioned to optimally benefit from the warm sun.\n\n\n \nWhen the grapes are fully ripe and have developed their desired characteristics, the grapes are harvested entirely by hand. Once arrived at the winery, the grapes are rigorously sorted and destemmed. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature, and finally, the wine is aged for 24 months in American oak.

This creates the perfect conditions for this red wine. This red Confidencia is made from the well-known Tempranillo grape. One of the most famous Spanish red wine grapes, it has been used to create many great wines. When the grapes are perfectly ripe, they are harvested mechanically in the early morning. This early harvest is important for the quality of the grapes. At this time of day, the skins haven't yet had to withstand much heat, making them stronger and less susceptible to bruising. Another reason is that the daytime heat could already cause the grapes to oxidize, which is obviously undesirable. Once the grapes arrive at the press, they are sorted on long sorting tables.

These two Spanish classics are aged entirely in oak barrels. This period, which lasts approximately 10 to 12 months, gives this wine a wonderfully rich character. However, before this red wine is ready, a great deal of work needs to be done in the vineyards. Both grape varieties are planted high in the ground and are at least 40 years old. Furthermore, each grape variety has different requirements for a balanced growing season. It is therefore important that each grape variety receives what it needs, such as sunshine, cool conditions, and sufficient nutrients. Therefore, considerable pruning in the vineyards is required to provide the grapes with the right nutrients. At perfect ripeness, the grapes are hand-picked and then pressed, after which vinification begins.

This gives the grapes unique characteristics, such as in this wine with intense aromas and high concentration. Old vines of the typical indigenous Bobal grape from Utiel-Requena form the basis for this wine. Bunches from thirty-year-old vines are used. The remaining thirty percent of the Cuvée is composed of equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz.\n\n\n \nThe Gandia estate produces distinctive Bobal wines through rigorous selection, drastic chlorophyll reduction, and low yields. After harvest, a twenty-day maceration process takes place. This is followed by vinification by individual grape varieties at 27 degrees Celsius.

The wine is produced by Alvaro Palacios in the Priorat region, northwest of Tarrogona in Catalonia. The Camins is sourced from eight different Priorat villages, situated on incredibly steep terraces of slate licorella. It is a blend of 35 percent Garnacha, 20 percent Cariñena, 20 percent Syrah, 15 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10 percent Merlot.

He is one of Spain's most renowned oenologists. But the road to his career was long. When he arrived in the small wine village of Gratallops in 1989, he had only a handful of supporters at his side, dedicated to unleashing the potential of this unique region. This region boasts exceptional climatic conditions, including over 3,000 hours of sunshine, 380 millimeters of annual rainfall, and cool nights. It also boasts a unique soil composition. Monks had already been cultivating wine here, and this tradition, over 600 years old, formed the foundation for Palacios' work. In the years that followed, he and his friends succeeded in producing fantastic wines distinguished by their mineral freshness.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e A wine in perfect balance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe grapes are harvested by hand, completely destemmed, and then gently crushed. The entire hand-picked harvest is aged for six months in oak barrels. But even more remarkable is the low yield per hl\/ha, at only twenty—a very low figure. We can therefore safely say that this Camins del Priorat contains the ultimate juice! The aroma offers beautiful hints of blackcurrant and blackberry, as well as herbs and licorice. The taste is typical of Alvaro Palacios: full and creamy with pronounced tannins! Rich flavors of black fruit, vanilla, herbs, tobacco, dark chocolate, and licorice. In short, a top wine from the Priorat.","brand":"Vinites","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775881908303,"sku":"4824","price":23.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/Alvaro_Palacios_Camins_del_Priorat_DOCa.webp?v=1780470583"},{"product_id":"alvaro-palacios-petalos","title":"Alvaro Palacios Petalos","description":"The Petalos del Bierzo has been aged for ten months in oak barrels.

From the outset, he aimed to produce world-class wines using extremely low-yield fruit from old vines and state-of-the-art winemaking techniques. Despite all his successes, Palacios embarked on a new adventure with his cousin Ricardo Perez. Their goal was to revive the wines of Bierzo. Both saw an opportunity, and in 1998 they jointly established a new winery in Corullon. Bierzo also features old, steep vineyards with abundant slate. The local grape is Mencia.\n\n\n \nThe grapes used come from plots of very old vines, between 50 and 90 years old. They are sourced from small plots in five municipalities in Bierzo. These are underperforming, resulting in high-quality fruit. The vineyards that produce Pétalos del Bierzo are primarily planted on slate floors and situated on slopes. Harvesting is done manually, with the first selection taking place in the same vineyard. In the winery, the grapes are destemmed for approximately 25 days and fermented in open wooden vats and open stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation takes place for two months in closed wooden vats and open stainless steel tanks. Pétalos del Bierzo is then aged for 10 months in French oak barrels before bottling, filtering, and clarification. This wine is particularly prestigious because the 2011 vintage of Pétalos del Bierzo was recognized by Robert Parker as the best Spanish wine of the year.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The best Spanish wine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nFull, round, and fresh on the palate with aromas of ripe black and red fruits such as black cherries, blueberries, blackberries, ripe raspberries, and strawberries.

La Montesa is a blend of indigenous grape varieties grown on the Palacios Remondo estate. Situated at an altitude of 1,800 feet, Palacios Remondo's vineyards are cultivated at some of the highest points in Rioja. The 30-year-old, head-trained vines are hand-harvested, organically farmed, and very closely spaced (3,000 plants per hectare). The soil consists of sediments dating back to the Quaternary period, consisting of clay and a stony, calcareous subsoil, covered with stones, with excellent drainage. Very low in organic matter and with a moderate base pH, the soil is perfect for growing high-quality fruit.
