Palacios is the pioneering Bierzo winery that revolutionized Spanish Mencía, founded in 1998 by Priorat legend Álvaro Palacios and his nephew Ricardo Pérez Palacios. Specializing in steep-slope, old-vine vineyards (60-100+ years), their critically acclaimed wines showcase Bierzo's signature graphite minerality and juicy dark fruit with structured dryness. Their accessible Pétalos bottling anchors the range, while village-specific Corullón and five single-vineyard wines demonstrate terroir precision, culminating in La Faraona, Spain's cult-status Mencía that commands premium prices. By elevating this Atlantic-influenced northwest region through low-yield bush vines and modern winemaking, they've made Bierzo essential drinking for collectors of age-worthy, mineral-driven Spanish reds.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"descendientes-de-j-palacios-petalos-2022","title":"Descendientes de J.
