2018 Finca Dofi, Alvaro Palacios, Priorat

£69.75 inc. VAT

A stunning wine from Alvaro Palacios’ original vineyard that he purchased on his arrival in Priorat in the late 1980s. Since it’s very first vintage in 1990, Finca Dofí has been synonymous with quality wine from this historic region.

The blend is mainly Garnacha with a small touch of old vine Cariñena grown in the village of Gratallops. All harvesting is done by hand and there is a biodynamic approach to the farming here. The wine is aged for 16 months in large oak barrels (foudres) which allows the wine to maintain the purity and elegance but to also gain extra depth.

There is ripe, primary fruit apparent in the 2018 which makes it very drinkable in its youth, but like all vintages of Finca Dofí it has the structure and precision to age for many years.

Always worth buying two bottles of this wonderful wine, one for now and one for later.
