Palacios estate in Bierzo, Spain, the Villa de Corullón 2022 is a refined village wine by Álvaro Palacios and Ricardo Pérez. Crafted from 95% Mencía and 5% mixed varieties (Palomino, Godello, Alicante Bouschet), sourced from 90 biodynamic plots around Corullón on schist soils, it’s fermented in oak and stainless steel. Aged 14 months in French oak, it offers a ruby hue and vibrant elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWinemaking Process\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePalacios’ biodynamic approach defines this wine. The 2022 vintage, from 60–100-year-old vines at 300–1,000 meters, undergoes gentle fermentation in oak vats and stainless steel tanks, with minimal extraction to preserve fruit purity. Aging for 14 months in French oak barriques (previously used) adds structure, creating a floral, mineral-driven wine with long aging potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn elegant, floral red with vibrant red fruit and mineral finesse, showcasing Bierzo’s terroir.\u003cbr\u003eThe nose reveals raspberry, black cherry, and cranberry, with garden thyme, wild mint, and slate notes.
