Plácet Valtomelloso is the only white wine made by Bodegas Palacios Remondo — a 100% Viura from roughly 30-year-old, organically farmed vines on the calcareous, clay-and-iron slopes of the La Montesa estate on Monte Yerga. The wine ages around 10-11 months on its lees in large 2,000-litre oak ovals, gaining a creamy texture while retaining freshness and minerality.
Proof that Viura deserves more respect — this is one of the most serious oak-aged whites Rioja produces, with a creamy texture that never loses its mineral edge.
New to wine?
A rare oak-aged Viura that shows white Rioja can be textured and complex without losing freshness — a great gateway into serious white Rioja.
