Critics reviews

Luis Gutiérrez 93/100
The white 2021 Plácet Valtomelloso reflects the power and concentration of the year with 14% alcohol and a low pH (3.3); it has oomph and power like never before but with freshness and finesse. The wine had a shortish élevage, seven months in oval oak foudres and some new barrels that give it a little more creaminess. This is a lush and elegant, atypical Plácet, quite showy. 15,700 bottles were produced. Drink 2022 - 2028Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate (Jul 2022)

About this wine

Viura

Viura is a synonym for Macabeo and is the most widely planted white grape variety in Rioja. It is a fairly straightforward grape to cultivate, although it is susceptible to disease and in particular to downy mildew and grey rot. It is a generous-yielding grape and in Rioja it tends to be blended with approximately 5% Malvasia to produce classic white Riojas. In Rioja Alvesa it is often blended with Tempranillo to produce high quality Red Riojas.
