Topanmeldt luksus-Rioja fra Alvaro Palacios. Uhyre elegant med vilde topanmeldelser.

Med Quinon de Valmira har Alvaro Palacios skabt en fortryllende rødvin fra deres vingård i Rioja. Vinen laves på primært Grenache, fremfor områdets typiske hoveddrue, tempranillo.

Druerne til vinen kommer fra en enkeltmark beliggende i Ebro-dalen i La Rioja, hvor de vokser på fine skråninger. Stokkene er i gennemsnit 30 år gamle. Naturligvis finder kun de bedste af de bedste druer vej til den endelige vin, der gæres i store egetræsfade i 17 måneder efterfulgt af 6 måneders lagring i cementkar.

Quinon de Valmira udtrykker sig med en fornem og elegant lys farve, med en skøn duft af let, rød frugt, rosenblade og frisk rosmarin. Smagen er frisk og indbydende med noter af granatæble og jordbær, aromatiske urter samt et perfekt afstemt fadpræg og fine tanniner.

I tasted the 2022 Quiñón de Valmira that I had already tasted before bottling last year, but this time I tasted it from bottle and next to the 2023. The year seems to have marked a change in the weather and even the aromatic profiles of the wines, but the Garnacha seems to resist. It delivered what it promised but, unfortunately, suffered in the comparison with the superb 2023. It has a pale ruby color with purple tints of youth. It's 85% Garnacha (not 58%, as I wrote last year), with the remaining 15% from other traditional varieties, fermented with a long maceration and some full clusters and matured in oak foudres for 17 months, after which it rested in concrete for another six months. It's floral, expressive, elegant and open, a little shier than the 2023, with ripeness, juicy red fruit and very fine tannins, just slightly dusty. It finishes dry and with some stony austerity that I loved. It comes in at 14% alcohol, with a pH of 3.5 and 5.3 grams of acidity. 5,680 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2024.

This is exceptionally pure, nervy and fragrant, with bright and incisive aromas that bring to mind red fruits with lavender and Mediterranean herbs, grapefruit zest, white pepper and exotic spices. This makes me think of mezcal. Formidable aromatics. The palate is equally seductive, fluid and elegant. A bit more tannin presence this year, but still quite fine and silky, which enhances the elegance of this wine. Drinkable now, but will hold.

An enticing, elegant red, with purity to the pureed raspberry and strawberry flavors, plus a pronounced mineral presence. Focused and fragrant, with detailed notes of wild thyme, dried violet, blood orange peel and stone. Seamlessly knit, with its lightly chalky texture and fresh juiciness carrying the profile on the long, spiced finish. Hard to stop sipping. Garnacha. Drink now through 2040. 515 cases made.

Quiñón de Valmira is not just a wine. As Palacios’ top Rioja it leads the transformation of Rioja Baja, now known as Rioja Oriental; puts the overlooked Garnacha back centre stage; and highlights the Sierra de Yerga as a fine vineyard origin. The palate is very appealing: succulent with a resounding red fruit and dark cherry ripeness, plus a lift of orange zest. Vivid, penetrating and long. Alvaro Palacios says Valmira is 'all about the aftertaste and the length'. Viñedo singular. 5,552 bottles produced.

Vinous - 95-97

The 2022 Quiñón de Valmira is a single-vineyard wine composed of 85% Garnacha and 15% other reds, sourced from Monte Yerga in Rioja Oriental and aged for 12 months in French oak foudres. Displaying a purple-red color, the herbal nose showcases elder and sour cherry, along with mint and chamomile notes against a faint and delicate cedar backdrop. Dry and cleansing on the palate, the fairly chalky texture leads to a compact, long-lasting, Worcestershire sauce finish. This is a unique and tasty expression of Garnacha.
