Viña Salceda Pico Palomares 2023
Descrição
O Pico Palomares deve o seu nome ao majestoso cume que domina o horizonte da Sonsierra e define a personalidade de uma das zonas mais privilegiadas da Rioja. Elaborado pela Viña Salceda a partir de um coupage em que a casta Tempranillo confere firmeza e estrutura, enquanto a Graciano proporciona uma frescura notável. Este tinto fino provém de vinhas antigas cultivadas em altitude e o seu estágio de um ano em barricas e foudres de carvalho francês confere-lhe uma textura redonda e sedosa, na qual se destaca um imponente carácter mineral.

Recognisable in style, this is an elegant, polished Rioja blend with clear varietal character of Tempranillo, nicely complemented by the other varieties. It is perfumed, floral and sappy with well managed tannin and bright acidity. Good structure and a wine that will unveil more over time but is highly drinkable now.
The 2023 Pico Palomares is a red blend of Tempranillo with 17% Graciano that has the subtitle "Landscapes of the Sonsierra" on its front label, denoting the origin of the grapes, which complement each other nicely—the Graciano adds the spark to the rusticity of the Tempranillo. It comes from small plots of old vines in the villages of Baños de Ebro, San Vicente de la Sonsierra, Ábalos and Navaridas on white soils at 550 to 660 meters in altitude. It fermented by plot in small vats with indigenous yeasts and moderate extraction, and the aging was 70% in oak foudre, 20% in new barriques with a low toast and 10% in concrete and lasted for 13 months. It's balanced, and the stronger point here is the palate and texture, as the nose is a little shy, at least at first; the mouthfeel is seamless and textured, with vibrant flavors and freshness, leaving a spicy twist. It's not a shy wine at 14.6% alcohol, but it has good balance—which, to me, is most important—and the alcohol goes unnoticed. 4,200 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2025. Luis Guitérrez
