About this Wine
La Baixada is an ecological and biodynamic red wine made by Álvaro Palacios in the D.O.Q. Priorat with the Garnacha Tinta variety.

Creator of the cult wine L'Ermita, Álvaro Palacios, needs no introduction. He is one of the main figures behind the resurgence of the D.O.Q. Priorat and the emergence of the D.O. Bierzo. He is an intrepid winemaker whose wines triumph wherever they go. Under the premise of fully respecting the expression of nature itself, his wines are authentic works of art.

La Baixada is a 1.3 hectare plot located in the town of Gratallops (El Priorat). It is planted with vines with an average age of 20 years old that grow on terraces 300 metres above sea level. The slopes are very steep and the soils are composed of licorella, the slate soil that is typical of the area. The vines are cultivated using organic agriculture with biodynamic treatments and following the lunar cycles in each of the processes.

Once the La Baixada grapes have been harvested manually, they are destemmed and lightly crushed. They are then fermented with native yeasts in oak vats with 55 days of maceration. Finally, the wine is aged for 20 months in French oak barrels.

La Baixada is Álvaro Palacios’ new wine made in the D.O.Q. Priorat. It is more refined than Finca Dofí and smoother than Les Aubaguettes. A very limited production with all the energy, subtlety and purity of a classic Priorat.

Wines of Spain

With 2.9 million acres of land planted in wine grapes, Spain is the most widely planted wine producing nation and second largest producer in the world. Many styles of wine are produced in the country most of which are based on native grape varietals.

The two most famous regions are Rioja and Ribera del Duero for their Tempranillo production. Rioja Tempranillo (the classic) will be lighter and fresher with red fruit flavours as compared to those from Ribera del Duero that are often deep purple, higher in alcohol with more tannins and intense black fruit character. Rioja is also known for producing Garnacha (Grenache), as well as rich, nutty whites from the indigenous Viura varietal.

In the Catalonia region, Spain is recognized for making a sparkling wine in the traditional method but using native grape varieties. This is called Cava. Priorat, a subregion within Catalonia specializes in making still red blends of Garnacha, Carignan and often Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon in a bold and full-bodied style. Together with Rioja, wines from Priorat have achieved DOCa/DOQ status signifying their quality.

Sherry is Spain’s famous fortified wine which can either be completely dry, lusciously sweet or somewhere in between. This is made in the southern region of Jerez.

Other notable Spanish wine styles include: Monastrell (AKA. Mataro/Mourvèdre), produced in the Jumilla region and refreshing white Albariño and Verdejo from north western Galacia.
