Álvaro Palacios · 1 wines

One of the most influential figures in modern Spanish wine. Born into the Palacios Remondo family in Rioja and trained at Château Pétrus, he arrived in the near-forgotten Priorat in 1989 and led its revival into a world-class region. He now also makes wine in Bierzo and back home in Rioja, and was named Decanter Man of the Year in 2015.

Powerful yet elegant reds built on old-vine Garnacha grown on Priorat's distinctive licorella slate. His flagship L'Ermita is among Spain's most sought-after and expensive wines, while bottlings like Camins del Priorat bring the same vision at a gentler price. The style is pure, mineral and site-driven.

We offer a 365-day return policy — a full year to return unopened bottles, which is far longer than most independent merchants. To be eligible, items must be unopened, unused and in their original packaging. Return postage is arranged by you (we recommend a tracked service), and once we've received and inspected the return we'll refund your original payment method within five business days. Sale items and gift cards can't be returned.

Every order is packed in specialist wine packaging built for safe transit, so breakages are rare — and fully covered when they do happen.
