O Produtor, tasting note published in July 14th 2021

La Baixada is a smooth red wine with delicious aromas of red and black fruits such as blackberries, currants and cherries, notes of violet flowers and subtly spicy touches. On the palate it is compact, energetic and very pure. A wine marked by wonderful nerve and fine, silky acidity and tannins. This is a wine with great ageing potential.

Alvaro Palacios

La Baixada is an ecological and biodynamic red wine made by Álvaro Palacios in the D.O.Q. Priorat with the Garnacha Tinta grape variety.
Creator of the cult wine L’Ermita, Álvaro Palacios, needs no introduction. He is one of the main figures behind the resurgence of D.O.Q. Priorat and the emergence of D.O.Q. Bierzo. He is an intrepid winemaker whose wines triumph wherever they go. Under the premise of fully respecting the expression of nature itself, his wines are authentic works of art.
La Baixada is a 1.3 hectare plot located in the town of Gratallops (El Priorat). It is planted with vines with an average age of 20 years that grow on terraces 300 metres above sea level. The slopes are very steep and the soils are composed of licorella, the slate soil that is typical of the area. The vines are grown using organic agriculture with biodynamic treatments and following the lunar cycles in each of the processes. After being harvested by hand, the Baixada grapes are destemmed and lightly crushed. They are then fermented with native yeasts in oak vats with 55 days of maceration. Finally, the wine is aged for 20 months in French oak barrels. La Baixada is the new wine from Álvaro Palacios made in the D.O.Q. Priorat. It is more refined than Finca Dofí and softer than Les Aubaguettes. A very limited production with all the energy, subtlety and purity of a classic Priorat.

Alvaro Palacios

With extremely low yields and vines from very old vines, Álvaro Palacios pays tribute to the unique character of an exceptional terroir dominated by a single soil type, the licorella. In these very fragile black slate soils, Álvaro Palacios produces magnificent wines from Cabernet Sauvignon, Garnacha Tinta (Grenache), Syrah and Cariñena (Carignan), wines that reveal a pure expression of the Priorat.
