About Descendientes de J. Palacios Pétalos del Bierzo

Descendientes de J. Palacios Pétalos del Bierzo is a red wine from the D.O. Bierzo, crafted by the winery Descendientes de J. Palacios. It is a varietal wine made exclusively from Mencía.

The grapes used are sourced from plots of very old vines, aged between 50 and 90 years. These vines have a low yield, which ensures the fruit is of exceptional quality. The vineyards from which Descendientes de J. Palacios Pétalos del Bierzo originates are primarily planted on slate soils and are situated on slopes. The harvest is conducted manually, with the initial selection taking place in the vineyard itself.

Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes are destemmed and undergo fermentation for approximately 25 days in open wooden vats and stainless steel tanks. A subsequent malolactic fermentation occurs over two months in closed wooden vats and stainless steel tanks. Thereafter, Descendientes de J. Palacios Pétalos del Bierzo matures for 10 months in French oak barrels and, prior to bottling, it is filtered and clarified.

It is worth highlighting the esteemed reputation of Descendientes de J. Palacios Pétalos del Bierzo, as in the 2011 vintage it was acknowledged as the Spanish wine with the best quality-price ratio by Robert Parker.

Descendientes de J. Palacios is owned by Ricardo Pérez Palacios, nephew of the renowned winemaker Álvaro Palacios, who is celebrated for his outstanding work in the D.O.Q. Priorat and collaborates with the family winery.
