White Wine Vallegarcía Viognier 2022
Availability: In stock
Despite the fact that Castile has never had a reputation for its white wines, the wine Vallegarcía Viognier is a varietal Viognier that should not be overlooked.
Produced by the Pago de Vallegarcía winery, this varietal Spanish white wine is sourced entirely from a 5-hectare parcel located in a pristine environment, surrounded by forests, in the very heart of the Toledo Mountains.
Harvested by hand, the grapes were fully destemmed and then cold-soaked for 12 hours at a low temperature.
Then 80% of this white wine from Toledo was fermented in stainless steel tanks, and the other 20% completed the process in French oak barrels.
After that, the wine Vallegarcía Viognier 2022 from DO Pago Vallegarcía was aged on its lees in the barrels for a period of 6 months.
Finally, this white wine from Castilla y León was further aged for 6 months in the bottle prior to its commercial release.
Aerate some time before drinking.
Appearance | The wine Vallegarcía Viognier is medium yellow with some greenish tinges. |
---|---|
Nose | This varietal Viognier is refined and complex. Aromas of ripe peaches and apricots, with a sprinkle of citrus, toast, pepper, aniseed, fennel and bitter herbs over a smokey background. |
Palate | This white wine from Pago de Vallegarcía is balanced, substantial and savoury. Some bitter nuances, creamy white fruit, vanilla, cinnamon, pomelo and blood orange. Well-balanced acidity and a lush texture, with a long, complex finish. |
Our personal opinion | The wine Vallegarcía Viognier 2021 will pair wonderfully with a truffled turkey or a roast duck. If you feel adventurous, try pairing it with Oriental cuisine. |
