Discover Grupo Álvaro Palacios Plácet Valtomelloso
In the heart of Spain’s celebrated Rioja region, Álvaro Palacios—one of the leading figures in modern Spanish winemaking—crafts a singular white wine that speaks volumes of his dedication to tradition and quality: the Plácet Valtomelloso. This wine, the only white in the Álvaro Palacios portfolio under Bodegas Palacios Remondo, represents a delicate balance between history and contemporary winemaking.
A Commitment to Excellence
Crafted exclusively from Viura grapes, also known as Macabeo, this wine showcases the unique characteristics of this indigenous Spanish variety. The vineyards at Bodegas Palacios Remondo are nurtured organically, ensuring that every grape reaches its full potential without the interference of synthetic chemicals. This approach not only maintains the health of the vines but also supports biodiversity and environmental sustainability.
Taste the Terroir
Plácet Valtomelloso offers a rich tapestry of flavors that reflect both the land and the hands that cultivate it. Pour yourself a glass and you’ll find a vibrant straw gold liquid that releases fragrant aromas of orange blossom, white pear, golden apples, and the delicate scent of chamomile flowers combined with a hint of fennel seed. On the palate, the wine opens up to reveal flavors of white peach and creamed honey, all elegantly held together by a full-bodied texture and perfectly balanced acidity.
The gentle whispers of minerality provide structure, while subtle hints of chamomile and fennel weave through, enhancing its complexity without overshadowing the purity of the fruit. With an alcohol content on average around 13-14%, Plácet Valtomelloso offers both a full-flavor experience and a versatile profile that pairs well with a variety of dishes.
From Vineyard to Table
Álvaro Palacios’s approach is steeped in organic farming practices and a respect for historical traditions. Hand-harvested grapes ensure quality at every stage, while the choice of fermentation vessels helps preserve the wine’s freshness and integrity. The resulting wine is as ideal for collectors as it is for those seeking to explore Spanish whites beyond the customary red-dominant offerings.
Pairing and Serving Suggestions
The versatility of Plácet Valtomelloso makes it an excellent accompaniment to a diverse array of foods. Its freshness and minerality pair beautifully with shellfish, grilled fish like sea bass, or simple poultry dishes with light sauces. Even creamy risottos or a platter of mild cheeses like Manchego or goat cheese will find their match in this exceptional wine.
For optimal enjoyment, serve Plácet Valtomelloso slightly chilled, between 10-12°C, allowing its full range of aromas and flavors to be experienced with each sip.
Embrace the rich tradition and pioneering spirit encapsulated in a bottle of Grupo Álvaro Palacios Plácet Valtomelloso, and savor a piece of Spanish viticultural heritage.
