Alvaro Palacios Finca Dofi Tinto

Description

“This Dofí from Palacios is a beautiful demonstration of how time, altitude, and schistous soils can yield truly exceptional wine. Planted just two decades ago in the charming Gratallops, this Garnacha-based vineyard – with a touch of Cariñena – delivers an elegance that’s immediately apparent. The 16 months spent aging in both oak barrels and *bocoyes* (clay amphorae), further enhances the wine’s texture, giving it a remarkably smooth, velvet-like quality, as if it’s been intimately embraced by the iron-rich schist. It’s a wonderfully Mediterranean wine – imagine it alongside perfectly grilled fish or a creamy sheep’s cheese.”
