The wine that put Alfaro – and Rioja Oriental – on the map. A Garnacha with 15% of other traditional red varieties adding a unique complexity, it’s immediately charming with floral and red fruit aromas. The palate begins round, with dark cherries and chocolate, finishing with a savoury, saline impression. This is all too easy to enjoy now, but built to last. Quiñón de Valmira has moved steadily up from my earlier assessments and in due course this vintage will surely score even higher. A Viñedo Singular that is recognisably singular.
