Quiñón de Valmira 2023 es la cumbre del vino tinto de paraje en la D.O.Ca. Rioja, elaborado por la bodega familiar Palacios Remondo en La Rioja, España. Diseñado por Álvaro Palacios, este vino de culto ha conquistado los legendarios 100 puntos Parker en The Wine Advocate, siendo un tesoro indispensable para comprar online.

Nace de un ensamblaje de Garnacha tinta (85%) y variedades locales (15%) de cepas ecológicas plantadas en 1986. El viñedo se sitúa en el paraje homónimo de Monte Yerga, en el municipio de Alfaro, provincia de La Rioja, a una altitud de 616 metros sobre suelos calizos y pedregosos.

Su elaboración artesanal contempla fermentación espontánea con levaduras autóctonas en tinas de madera y maceración con hollejos de 38 días. Tras la fermentación maloláctica, el vino envejece 12 meses en tradicionales fudres de roble francés de gran capacidad para salvaguardar la finura varietal.

Luce un color rubí claro. En sus notas de cata destacan aromas a frutos rojos, pétalos de rosa y tiza. Su paso por boca es etéreo, fluido y dotado de una vibrante acidez. Armoniza de forma ideal con codornices estofadas, asados tradicionales de cordero y quesos semicurados.

2023 / 100 puntos

The just-bottled 2023 Quiñón de Valmira was hitting it on all cylinders the morning I tasted it. It was exuberant, aromatic, floral, extroverted and really singing, with incredible harmony for a wine that had been bottled only a couple of weeks before I tried it. It had a shorter maceration, a mere 13 days (compared with the from 45 from the 2022), and also a shorter élevage, 13 months. 2023 continued the dry and warm tendency of 2022 that made them work more and differently in the vineyards to keep the humidity in the soil and have more vegetation, which seems to help the sticks hold up the vines.

The wine is a revelation, sensual and juicy, with notes of tangerine and wild strawberry. They did a very careful vinification and élevage to avoid any fissures in the wine. It has a kind of stony reductiveness that I loved, making it serious and mineral. It's really fine-boned and elegant like never before, with complexity, mixing floral notions with aromatic herbs and exotic spices, somewhat taking me to the character of some reds from Jura, ethereal but vibrant and full of energy and power. It has a moderate 13.5% alcohol, balanced by a pH of 3.59 and 5.4 grams of acidity. Álvaro told me this 2023 does not resemble any other vintage; 2024 feels a little like 2021, but 2022 and 2023 are really unique—2023 was saved by the rain from the 10th to the 17th of September; they picked the grapes the 22nd, and the ripening was thorough and achieved a longer cycle. Volumes were lower, though, only 3,062 bottles. It was bottled in January 2025.
