Alvaro Palacios Finca Dofí 2021 glides from pure red and blue berry fruit into layers of spice, flowers and subtle earth, all carried by a vivid line of freshness. The palate is refined yet powerful, with sleek, polished tannins and impressive depth that builds without heaviness, finishing very long and focused. This vintage shows a particularly graceful, high-toned character that emphasizes elegance over sheer weight.

Finca Dofí is Álvaro Palacios’s emblematic single-vineyard red from the steep, llicorella (slate) terraces of Gratallops in Priorat, a mainly Garnacha-based blend subtly seasoned with Cariñena and a touch of local white varieties. Farmed organically and fermented with indigenous yeasts, it marries Mediterranean intensity and mineral depth with an unexpectedly fine, floral elegance, giving a silken, long-lived wine that sits just a step below L’Ermita in the Palacios hierarchy.
