Descendientes de J. Palacios Villa de Corullon 2020 Spanish Red Wine

Experience the acclaimed elegance of Descendientes de J. Palacios Villa de Corullón 2020, a profound expression of Bierzo’s slate-rich terroir. Crafted from meticulously farmed 50-90 year old vines cultivated organically and biodynamically across high-altitude plots (500-950m), this village-designated red blends 91% Mencía with intriguing touches of Alicante Bouschet and heritage white grapes.

Critics celebrate its finesse:
• Wine Advocate 96 Points praises its “fluid versatility,” noting refined tannins, vibrant freshness, and complex layers of wild herbs beneath its mineral core – calling it “one of the lightest, most elegant vintages of Corullón.”
• James Suckling 92 Points highlights its aromatic bouquet of ripe plums, tart cherries, clove spice, and tea leaves, leading to a full-bodied palate balanced by fresh acidity and a distinctive stony-peppery finish.

Precision winemaking defines this Spanish gem: partial destemming precedes a 43-day native yeast fermentation in oak vats, with gentle maturation in barriques and foudres for just 10 months. The restrained 13.5% alcohol amplifies its drinkability and food-pairing flexibility – equally stunning now or with cellar potential.

Discover why this sophisticated Bierzo red stands apart: its remarkable texture, authentic biodynamic character (certification pending), and complex yet approachable profile make it an exceptional choice for lovers of nuanced Old World wines.
