Quinon de Valmira Alvaro Palacios 2022 is a Garnacha from the Rioja region of Spain. This wine is produced from a unique, south-facing site with deep chalky soils, which Palacios believes provides the highest level of expression for the variety in the region. It offers a multifaceted bouquet of wild fruits, incense, white pepper and earthy mineral notes. The palate is remarkably dense and silky, with a seamless intensity that defines the exceptional quality of this specific parcel. It shows extraordinary depth, with the structural evolution highlighting a rare harmony between concentration and an almost ethereal, lingering finesse that defines the site.

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.Luis Gutierrez27th February 2025

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.Joaquin Hidalgo18th April 2024
