92 points, “Vibrant, youthful and brambly nose that is very fruit-expressive, with lots of red cherries, pomegranate, potpourri and hints of oyster-shell minerality and coffee that extend to a crunchy, medium-bodied palate, framed by juicy, fresh tannins. Bright, silky and unassumingly approachable now.” – James Suckling

91 points, “The more modern and different 2021 Camins del Priorat is a little more balsamic with some herbal notes and some dusty tannins. It’s powerful with 14.5% alcohol and has good balance. This fermented 100% destemmed in concrete and stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and matured in oak barrels and vats for six months.” – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

Camins del Priorat is a wine that’s as stunning as its label. Regularly praised by Jancis Robinson MW for its “good value”, this regional blend of 40% Grenache, 30% Carignan, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Syrah is matured in oak for around four to six months. The result is a dark, chewy, muscular and highly modern red, but one that manages to be pretty and deeply drinkable at the same time. Crammed with crème de cassis, blackberries, blueberries, fig, dark chocolate, liquorice, balsamic, coffee beans, dried flowers and dry beach pebbles, this is serious stuff for cold nights and big, rich meals.

After studying winemaking in Bordeaux and two years working at Château Pétrus, Álvaro Palacios spent a big chunk of the 1980s travelling all over Spain selling French barrels, but all the while secretly looking for the perfect site to make Spain’s finest wine. He settled on the rugged terroir of Priorat and his wines l’Ermita and Finca Dofí shot to fame, not only putting this region on the map, but also completely redefining it. One of Spain’s most important and influential producers, his wines should not be missed.
