Valtuille El Val 2022

2022 / 95 puntos

The impressive 2022 Valtuille El Val has a darker yellow color, some toasty notes (80% of the barrels were new), contained ripeness and 13.07% alcohol. They harvest early in the warm years, and the wine has very good freshness and acidity, which is reflected in the parameters—a pH of 3.15 and 7.04 grams of acidity. It's juicy and approachable, with a round palate, and it's very clean and focused, with the toasty notes still noticeable on the finish. It's varietal, with purity and the freshness like a cooler year. 1,800 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2023. It should develop nicely in bottle.
