Lobenberg: Intensive duftige Nase, Myrre, Kamille, süße weiße Blüten, Honig. Im Mund Birne und Ananas, Quitte und vietnamesische Drachenfrucht. Im Hintergrund saftig saure Zitrusfrucht, cool climate, Kimchi, aber Birne und Ananas mit leichten Schalenaromen dominieren diesen sehr aufregenden, ungewöhnlichen, frischen biologischen Wein aus Viura. Ein leckeres Unikat. Tolle Holzaromen, rauchig. Witziger und sehr eigenständiger, frischer, verblüffend geschmacksintensiver Wein mit einem Touch Naturwein aus einem ganz großen Weißweinjahr.

2023 war sehr warm, aber er ist deutlich kühler und balancierter als der noch heißere und trockenere 2022. Nicht so aufregend und extrem wie 2021, eher eine reife und harmonische Version von 2020. Und so ist 2023 durchaus eine Fortsetzung der so großen Jahrgänge seit 2019. Luis Gutierez, Parkers Mann für Spanien, fasst den Jahrgang 2023 anhand von Alvaro Palacios Weingütern ganz im Westen und ganz im Osten, somit Landesübergreifend so zusammen: 2023 was an even more generous crop than 2022 … the wines have better balance, and it doesn't feel like a warm year at all. In fact, the wines feel more like they come from a cool year. It's a vintage that has a tendency toward reduction, not as much as 2020, but still reductive. But it's an elegant, stony reduction...The quality of the 2023s is stunning. There is a level of precision, cleanliness, symmetry and elegance that, if the end of the élevage and the bottling goes as expected, I must conclude that 2023 might be the finest vintage ... There might be other individual wines that reach higher peaks, but as an overall portfolio, the vintage 2023 represents the strongest collection ever produced.

Tim Atkin über: Placet de Valtomelloso Viura

-- Tim Atkin: Placet has been part of the Palacios Remondo line-up since 1997, when it was made by Álvaro Palacios' brother, Rafael. Sourced from a four-hectare parcel inside Finca La Montesa, it's a pure Viura that lives up to its lofty reputation. Skilfully wooded in larger French oak barrels, it has good concentration, flavours of citrus, lemongrass and passion fruit and a racy, refreshing finish.

Parker über: Placet de Valtomelloso Viura

-- Parker: The latest vintage of their white wine is the 2023 Plácet Valtomelloso, produced with Viura grapes from the Valtomelloso zone and fermented in oval oak casks where the wine matured for four months. It has notes of white fruit and flowers, a moderate 13.2% alcohol and a pH of 3.48, as the wine didn’t go through malolactic fermentation. It’s very balsamic and medicinal, expressive and open, with a bright yellow color, still very primary and a little yeasty (the fermentation is very cold, so they have to use yeasts resistant to low temperatures). It’s still pending the last racking, and that should diminish those yeasty notes. It’s juicy and round, with a velvety mouthfeel and a bitter twist in the finish. They should start bottling the wine in May 2024 and expect to fill some 15,300 bottles.
