Álvaro Palacios, the former Decanter Man of the Year, is renowned for elevating Priorat's status in the world of fine wine, particularly with his acclaimed single-vineyard L’Ermita. Hailing from a prestigious winemaking background in Rioja, Palacios ventured to Bordeaux to study winemaking, including a stint at Château Pétrus in Pomerol. In 1989, he partnered with Rene Barbier to establish a winery in the overlooked Priorat region of Spain, using old-vine Garnacha, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cariñena on steep slate slopes, along with modern techniques, to craft exceptional wines. Palacios expanded his portfolio to include both blended and single-vineyard wines. Beyond Priorat, he co-founded Descendientes de J Palacios in Bierzo with his nephew Ricardo Pérez and revitalized family holdings in Rioja, showcasing his pioneering spirit and commitment to producing world-class wines across Spain.
