*Vintage may vary by location*

While originally conceived of as a value wine, Les Terrasses has slowly evolved into Álvaro’s statement of what makes Priorat special. Drawing on 15+ years of study, Terrasses is sourced from many of the region’s steepest and oldest vineyards—many of them north-facing to avoid the intense afternoon sun. Today, Les Terrasses is today perhaps the single finest introduction to Priorat in the marketplace.

JS James Suckling: 93 Points
A solid Priorat with fine-grained tannins and mineral, berry and light spice undertones. Medium body. Fruity and focused finish. Drink or hold.
WS Wine Spectator: 93 Points
A suave red that starts out sleek and racy but expands nicely on the palate, with juicy acidity and supple tannins carrying a lovely range of crushed black cherry and boysenberry, warm fig, violet and mocha notes. Fragrant on the lightly chewy finish, with lingering hints of dried thyme and milled pepper. Garnacha and Samso. Drink now through 2034.
