Alvaro Palacios La Baixada 2022 | Ewineasia.com

La Baixada is a 1.3-hectare plot located in the town of Gratallops (El Priorat). It contains vines with an average age of 20 years, planted on terraces at 300 metres above sea level with very steep slopes and on soils composed of licorella, the typical slate soil of the area. Organic farming is practised with biodynamic treatments, following lunar cycles in each of the processes.

Once the grapes of Álvaro Palacios La Baixada are hand-harvested, they are destemmed and lightly crushed. Subsequently, they ferment with native yeasts in oak vats with 55 days of maceration. Finally, the wine is aged for 20 months in French oak barrels.

Álvaro Palacios La Baixada is the new wine from Álvaro Palacios crafted in the D.O.Q. Priorat. It is a more refined version than Finca Dofí and more fluid than Les Aubaguettes. A very limited production with all the energy, subtlety, and purity of a classic Priorat.
