History
Bodegas Palacio, which is based in Laguardia in the heart of Rioja Alavesa, was founded in 1894 by Don Cosme Palacio. It forms part of the Entrecanales Domecq e Hijos. The winery owns 200 hectares of vineyards and focuses on classic Rioja styles made from 100% Tempranillo, as well as traditional white wines made predominantly from Viura. The cooler climate and generous rainfall in Rioja Alavesa gives the wines their trademark freshness and elegance.
Regional Information
At the foot of Laguardia, between the Sierra de Cantabria and the sinuous course of the Ebro, Bodegas Palacio keeps the dynamic spirit of its origins alive, the moment in 1894 when Cosme Palacio took charge of his family's winery. Protected by the imposing rocks, Tempranillo vines find their ideal conditions here. High altitude, chalky-clay soils, south facing, a unique microclimate with Mediterranean and Atlantic influences. A great potential for finesse, nurtured with the utmost care.

Vinification Details
The grapes that went into this magnificent wine were harvested from our oldest vineyards after careful checks on their ripeness. The picking was carried out using small crates so as not to damage the fruit and upon arrival at the winery they underwent cold pre-maceration prior to the traditional production process in stainless steel tanks. After long maceration, the wine was transferred to French oak barrels, where it remained for 22 months.
