Energetic and passionate, Palacios admires Burgundy and other wine regions with a monastic past. A media-friendly maverick, he has become a true celebrity in the world of Spanish wine.

Tasting Note: Gratallops Vi de Villa showcases the rich and complex character of the region. It boasts a deep ruby colour and an enticing bouquet of blackberries, plums, and cherries, complemented by notes of liquorice, spices, and a hint of minerality. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and well-structured, offering layers of dark fruit, cocoa, and earthy nuances, with finely integrated tannins and a long, sophisticated finish.
