Bodegas Palacios Remondo, Plácet de Valtomelloso, Rioja Oriental, Spain 2021

Tasted by:
(at Rioja Oriental Regional Profile Tasting, 20 Dec 2022)
Drinking Window: 2023 - 2026
The only white wine that Alvaro Palacios produces. Based on this example, perhaps he should do it more often. It brings out the best in Viura: bright, light gold with delicate aromas of brioche and white flowers. It's a full-bodied stye but with lovely freshness, ripe citrus and a line of minerality. The oak influence from foudres and some new oak is subtle, emphasising the creamy texture.
