The 2007 Finca Dofi ups the ante. It is sourced from a single vineyard with a cepage of 60% Garnacha and 40% Cabernet, Syrah, and Merlot aged in 100% new oak. It displays a more expressive nose of mineral, Asian spices, smoke, espresso, black cherry, and licorice. On the palate it is dense but approachable. It merits several years of cellaring, and its optimal drinking window extends from 2013 to 2022.
Álvaro Palacios comes to Gratallops with the intention to pass on the whole character of this land: Spirit, passion, patience, light and rigor harmoniously mixed to create round fresh and mineral wines. He founds like that a winery in 1989 of 25 Has. And with a production of 195000 bottles.
