Les Terrasses is one of the most iconic, respected, and coveted red wines in DOQ Priorat, crafted by master winemaker Álvaro Palacios in Gratallops. Born from old vines cultivated on terraced slopes of pure slate (licorella), this wine synthesizes Priorat's soul through a masterful blend of Carignan (Samsó), Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah. Aged for 13 months in French oak barrels and vats, it delivers a velvety structure, concentrated fruitiness, and unmistakable mineral expression. A modern classic of grand elegance and freshness.

Narrative Tasting Note

In the glass, Les Terrasses reveals a bright, deep, pure garnet-cherry red color of high depth with youthful violet highlights. The nose immediately unfolds a bouquet of captivating richness and depth: wild blackberries, ripe dark plum, blueberries, and violet petals emerge surprisingly intertwined with herbal touches (thyme, rosemary), black pepper, graphite, warm slate stone, and subtly integrated fine oak. On the palate, it offers a luminous, fleshy entry with a surprising velvety feel; its mid-palate is juicy, balanced, and remarkably pure, where rounded tannins match clean acidity holding overall freshness. A long, persistent, spicy, and markedly mineral finish leaves an unforgettable echo of wild dark fruit and Priorat essence.

A fresh, groundbreaking seafood pairing. Fish melty texture and soy umami notes match wonderfully with this great Priorat's fruit purity, slate minerality, and polished tannins.
