About Descendientes de J. Palacios

Descendants of J. Palacios arrived in Bierzo Spain in 1999 with the illusion of extolling the viticultural charms of a region of absolute historical-religious origin. After the important Roman rule (Las M dulas gold mines), El Bierzo became an obligatory rest stop on the hard pilgrimage on the way to Santiago de Compostela. It would be these monks from northern Europe who would develop this special viticulture that, the Menc a, and an incomparable viticultural heritage by his roots and personality. Located in the vineyard in the attractive town of Corull n, lvaro Palacios and his nephew Ricardo P rez Palacios cultivate 30 hectares of very old vineyards in their ownership, following the discipline of biodynamics in search of definition and purity. These vineyards are spread over some sixty small plots with very diverse exposures and on different altitude scales, due to the orography made up of slopes with steep slopes. The origin of the soil formation belongs to the lower Cambrian period, characterized by a structure of pure laminar and thick slate rock, very mineral, with quartzites, sandstones, and clays, combining a horizontal and oblique arrangement, within respect to the ground, an aspect that accentuates the character of the terroir. The continental climate of the Atlantic influence and the rainfall, over 600 mm per year, of this green and mountainous region, reflects the freshness and fragrance in its wines of important depth, volume, and that lively and juicy sensation of cherry pulp within a silky and friendly texture and character.
