During the late 1980’s, Alvaro Palacios travelled his native Spain selling French barriques to winemakers. But his journeys had a second purpose: to find the best place to achieve his goal of making Spain’s greatest wine. He ultimately decided, in 1990, on Priorato, where he would achieve worldwide fame with “L’Ermita” and “Finca Dofi.” But there had been a close contender: Bierzo. It had all the ingredients that Alvaro wanted – incredibly steep hillside vineyards, distinctive terroirs and, most importantly, ancient vineyards of Mencia – a unique red grape believed brought by French pilgrims during the Middle Ages.
