Description
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.

Vineyard
Rioja Alavesa is a very special area for the production of unique and high-quality wines with the microclimate of the region protecting the vines from both cold and wetwinds from the North and the intense heat of the South. The vines are grown on calcareous clay terraces at altitude, allowing the grapes to mature slowly and gradually, preserving their characteristic aromas and creating expressive and complex wines.
