alvaro palacios was born into a family of winemakers in rioja, but he found his fame as a pioneer of the viticultural revival in priorat. he founded his own winery in 1989 with the creation of "finca dofi" and "les terrasses," wines that quickly gained international recognition. priorat is a prestigious wine region in catalonia, renowned for its powerful and concentrated red wines. alvaro palacios was one of the first to recognize the potential of this region, particularly by working with indigenous grape varieties such as grenache (garnacha) and carignan (cariñena). alvaro palacios is known for his philosophy of working in harmony with nature and terroir. he practices biodynamic viticulture and uses traditional winemaking methods to preserve the pure expression of fruit and terroir in his wines. the wines produced by alvaro palacios, such as "l'ermita" and "finca dofi," are among the most sought-after in spain. they are praised for their depth, complexity, and ability to reflect the unique character of priorat's terroir. in addition to his work in priorat, alvaro palacios has also invested in other spanish wine regions, including bierzo in castile and león, where he produces wines from the mencia grape. as for things to do in the region: nature exploration: the priorat region offers spectacular natural landscapes, with its steep mountains, lush valleys, and terraced vineyards. you can go hiking or biking to explore the area and enjoy panoramic views. exploring picturesque villages: villages in priorat, such as gratallops, porrera, and falset, are rich in history and charm. take a stroll through their cobblestone streets, discover their ancient churches, and stop by small cafes and restaurants to taste the local cuisine. visit historical sites: priorat also has a rich historical heritage. you can visit sites such as the scala dei monastery, an ancient cistercian monastery that played an important role in the region's winemaking history.
