Description

Descendientes de J. Palacios is a Spanish wine producer that has been making wine for generations. The company was founded by Alvaro Palacios, who is considered one of the most influential winemakers in Spain. The company is now run by his nephew, Ricardo Perez, who has continued the family tradition of producing high-quality wines.

One of the most popular wines produced by Descendientes de J. Palacios is Petalos. This wine is made in the Bierzo region of Spain, which is known for its unique microclimate and soil composition. The grapes used to make Petalos are primarily Mencia, which is a grape variety that is native to the region.

The production process for Petalos is very traditional. The grapes are hand-harvested and then sorted to ensure that only the best grapes are used. The grapes are then fermented in stainless steel tanks before being aged in oak barrels for several months. This process gives the wine a complex flavour profile that is both fruity and spicy.

Petalos is a medium-bodied wine that is known for its smooth texture and balanced acidity. The wine has a deep ruby colour and aromas of red fruit, black pepper, and vanilla. On the palate, the wine has flavours of blackberry, cherry, and plum, with a hint of smokiness and a long, lingering finish.

Overall, Petalos is a wine that is perfect for those who enjoy a full-bodied red wine with a complex flavour profile. It pairs well with a variety of foods, including grilled meats, stews, and hearty pasta dishes. Whether you're looking for a special occasion wine or just a delicious bottle to enjoy with dinner, Petalos is sure to please.

Tasting notes

93 Points - The wine Advocate

The Petalos cuvée signed by the prestigious winemaker, Alvaro Palacios is the pleasure cuvée of the estate: A real nugget with impressive taste flavours.
It's a showy, approachable, aromatic, and open version of Pétalos, and as I tasted it later on in the season, it felt more polished and rounder, with a lush texture. It's extremely aromatic, in a way like the 2012. This is always one of the best values not only of Bierzo but for the whole of Spain.
