From a single, limestone-rich vineyard perched at 616 metres on the slopes of Yerga Mountain in Rioja Oriental, this Grenache speaks with a voice both delicate and resonant. The nose is a perfumed swirl of wild strawberry, tangerine peel, rose petals and mountain herbs, laced with a mineral hum of stone and smoke. On the palate, it glides effortlessly between lightness and depth,  supple red fruit, silken texture, and crystalline acidity wrapped around a spine of fine, grippy tannin. The finish is endless, pure, and alive with energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor when:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e A special dinner calls for one of Spain’s most remarkable wines, or you need a thoughtful gift for a collector with a love of exceptional Rioja.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePairs with:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Roast duck with cherry jus, herb-crusted lamb, venison loin, wild mushroom dishes or roast guinea fowl.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1027\" data-end=\"1723\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eQuiñón de Valmira is the pinnacle of Palacios Remondo’s mountain viticulture,  a vivid expression of Garnacha’s nobility through altitude, limestone, and meticulous care. Álvaro Palacios, famed for L’Ermita and Finca Dofí in Priorat, brings the same precision and reverence to Rioja, crafting wines that feel almost weightless in their power. The 2023 vintage, awarded \u003cstrong data-start=\"1396\" data-end=\"1444\"\u003e100 points by Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate)\u003c\/strong\u003e, is a triumph of restraint and intuition: shorter maceration, gentler élevage, and an intuitive sense of timing that has yielded a wine of haunting finesse.
