About this Wine

Quiñón de Valmira is a Garnacha red wine made with a minimal amount of other local red varieties. It is made by the Palacios Remondo winery in the D.O C. Rioja in Alfaro, La Rioja.

The grapes used to make the Quiñón de Valmira wine come from a single vineyard, a limestone podium over the Ebro Valley with cold soils that produce an open and expressive wine. This plot has 20 cm thick surface material with predominantly carbonated and clay-ferrous sediments. The subsoil has a deep calcium layer.

The vineyard lies on a gently sloping hillside with vines aged around 30 years old. They are cultivated according to the principles of organic agriculture. When the grapes reach the winery, they are gently destemmed and squeezed and begin alcoholic fermentation in wooden vats with their native yeasts. The resulting wine undergoes spontaneous malolactic fermentation in barrels and aging in foudres and bocois for around 18 months, depending on the vintage.

Quiñón de Valmira is a pleasant surprise from La Rioja where the Garnacha is more elegant and distinct than the popular Tempranillo variety. A Rioja red that reminds us how talented renowned winemaker Álvaro Palacios is, with his ability to identify places and varieties that make up exquisite and surprising blends, a gift that has seen him become one of the world’s great winemakers.

Wines of Spain

With 2.9 million acres of land planted in wine grapes, Spain is the most widely planted wine producing nation and second largest producer in the world. Many styles of wine are produced in the country most of which are based on native grape varietals.

The two most famous regions are Rioja and Ribera del Duero for their Tempranillo production. Rioja Tempranillo (the classic) will be lighter and fresher with red fruit flavours as compared to those from Ribera del Duero that are often deep purple, higher in alcohol with more tannins and intense black fruit character. Rioja is also known for producing Garnacha (Grenache), as well as rich, nutty whites from the indigenous Viura varietal.

In the Catalonia region, Spain is recognized for making a sparkling wine in the traditional method but using native grape varieties. This is called Cava. Priorat, a subregion within Catalonia specializes in making still red blends of Garnacha, Carignan and often Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon in a bold and full-bodied style. Together with Rioja, wines from Priorat have achieved DOCa/DOQ status signifying their quality.

Sherry is Spain’s famous fortified wine which can either be completely dry, lusciously sweet or somewhere in between. This is made in the southern region of Jerez.

Other notable Spanish wine styles include: Monastrell (AKA. Mataro/Mourvèdre), produced in the Jumilla region and refreshing white Albariño and Verdejo from north western Galacia.
