Les Terrasses is the "little sister" of the Alvaro Palacios stable, most famous for its blockbusters Finca Dofí and l’Ermita.
Les Terrasses is made largely from grapes bought from individual farmers in the Priorat, whereas the top two wines of this cellar are made from their own vineyards. The wine spends a year in French oak, of which 20% is new and the remainder handed down from the other two wines, and is a nice balance of opulence and elegance.
