I also tasted the very young barrel sample of the 2021 Quiñón de Valmira, a year with stress and small berries with a very mild summer that resulted in a wine with great concentration and finesse, with a pH of 3.46 and six grams of acidity (higher than the average). The wine is still a baby (six months old!), but it feels quite balanced and is not oaky at all; it is harmonious, clean and quite expressive, even if it has lots of concentration and a big structure. This is a great vintage of Valmira in the making, super balanced, perhaps the finest ever? They expect to fill some 4,300 bottles around April 2023.
85% Garnacha. Aged 12 months in foudre.
Pale purple colour. Raspberry coulis, wonderful lifted scent. Pepper and red bell pepper on the nose – that's a flavour I can't remember tasting before, and it gives distinctive personality to the wine. Full body with high acid. Elegant in a fuller-bodied mould. (RH)
