Bodegas Palacio is one of the oldest wineries in the region, forming part of the select group of centenary wineries of the Rioja D.O.Ca. Glorioso, registered in 1917, is one of the winery's longest established and most prestigious wine brands. Deep cherry red colour. Clean and very intense, a clearly defined nose of the fruity notes of the Tempranillo grape combined perfectly with the fine aromas added by ageing in French oak. A very expressive wine, in which the ripeness of the fruit brings freshness and liveliness to the whole. A long, silky finish with a velvety mouthfeel.
This wine is made 100% from Tempranillo grapes. The grapes are destemmed and ferment at a controlled temperature, after which they go through the malolactic fermentation and are clarified and racked.
Glorioso Crianza ages in Bordeaux French oak barrels for 12 months. It then remains in the bottle for a further 10 months.
Bodegas Palacio, which is based in Laguardia in the heart of Rioja Alavesa, was founded in 1894 by Don Cosme Palacio. It forms part of the Entrecanales Domecq e Hijos. The winery owns 200 hectares of vineyards and focuses on classic Rioja styles made from 100% Tempranillo, as well as traditional white wines made predominantly from Viura. The cooler climate and generous rainfall in Rioja Alavesa gives the wines their trademark freshness and elegance.
