Alvaro Palacios Placet 2022, Rioja

La Montesa · Oriental · dad’s approval

We have Alvaro Palacios’ consent to drink a white wine from La Rioja that even his father would approve of.  The fruit for Plácet is sourced from a 4 Ha parcel in Valtomelloso, avg. age around 40 years. Grapes are hand-harvested, partially destemmed, fermented on its fine lees in foudres, with a bit of skin contact and no malo, aged in French oak for 7 months.  Tropical fruity, pear, peaches, orange blossoms, chamomile and all that, a mineral backdrop – lush, creamy, serious-minded and lovely.
