L’Ermita, produced by Álvaro Palacios in Gratallops, is one of the great benchmarks of the Priorat and of contemporary Spanish viticulture. Sourced from a unique vineyard with steep slopes and licorella soils, it stands out for its concentration, elegance, and extraordinary mineral expression. The 2001 vintage, one of the region’s most acclaimed, offers a profile of great complexity, with notes of ripe black fruit, spices, Mediterranean herbs, and mineral nuances, supported by a refined structure and remarkable length. A wine particularly prized by collectors.
