Vallegarcía Viognier 2023
Despite the fact that Castile has never had a reputation for its white wines, the wine Vallegarcía Viognier is a varietal Viognier that should not be overlooked.
Produced by the Pago de Vallegarcía winery, this varietal Spanish white wine is sourced entirely from a 5-hectare parcel located in a pristine environment, surrounded by forests, in the very heart of the Toledo Mountains.
Harvested by hand, the grapes were fully destemmed and then cold-soaked for 12 hours at a low temperature.
Then 80% of this white wine from Toledo was fermented in stainless steel tanks, and the other 20% completed the process in French oak barrels.
After that, the wine Vallegarcía Viognier 2023 from DO Pago Vallegarcía was aged on its lees in the barrels for a period of 6 months.
Finally, this white wine from Castilla y León was further aged for 6 months in the bottle prior to its commercial release.
Aerate some time before drinking.
