Alvaro Palacios refers to himself as a gardener, not a winemaker. Ex-Bottlerocker Yumilka (Palacios' crazed disciple and groupie) envisions him a messiah of modern Spanish wines, delivering organically crafted fruit that blossoms with personalidad. Dofi (Alvaro's firstborn) is one of the 5 original Clos that placed the Priorat on the wine map and is one of its benchmark bottlings.
