Availability: In stock
The wine Aalto Blanco de Parcela is a prime example of the white wines of Aalto Bodegas y Viñedos, the style of which starkly contrasts with the famed Aalto reds.
This white wine from Castilla y León is made mostly from Verdejo grapes sourced from the Fuente de las Hontanillas vineyard, planted at 850+ metres of altitude in Quintanilla de Arriba, Valladolid, DO VT Castilla y León. The main variety is complemented with a small percentage of Godello and Albillo.
This blended Crianza white wine was exquisitely vinified. After completing both fermentations, the white wine Aalto Blanco de Parcela 2023 was aged in 500-litre French oak barrels for 10 months. This Spanish white wine was bottled in September 2024.
We suggest aerating this single vineyard white wine by master winemaker Mariano García before drinking.
Appearance | The white wine Aalto Blanco de Parcela is deep straw with some golden reflections. |
---|---|
Nose | This blend of Verdejo, Godello and Albillo shows real complexity and excellent definition, with citrus peel, honeysuckle, red apple and peach, evolving into fennel, vanilla, dry earth and honeysuckle, with a salty note. |
Palate | Stylish, textured and linear, this wine of Aalto Bodegas y Viñedos has a racy acidity, outstanding freshness, almost unnoticeable oak and an ever-evolving character. Gently mineral, with a herbal remembrance, a compelling yuzu note and a long, gently bitter, mildly smokey finish. |
Our personal opinion | The wine Aalto Blanco de Parcela 2023 is a Castilian white of Burgundian elegance. |
