Dark violet in colour, with equally dark fruit filling the nose. Bramble, blueberry & cherry aromas predominate, accompanied by subtle floral hints. Rich & smooth on the palate, with a spicy finish. The Camins is Alvaro's entry level wine & is great value for your money. The grapes come from a range of climats around Gratallops & from 10-50 year old vines planted on terraced slopes. The cepage is 50% Carignena, 40% Garnacha & 10% Cabernet Sauvignon & Syrah & the wine spends 8 months in older French barrels. Alvaro Palacios first came to Gratallops in 1989, thanks to a group of local producers commited to obtaining the best from Priorat, land characterized by its rugged environment, terraced hillside & old vines. The region has expanded nearly four times since but Alvaro is determined to produce the best wines from this difficult terrain has not diminished. The vines are planted mostly on very steep slopes at a high altitude. The roots go down very deep into the schist soil & organic viticulture is practiced.
