Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The style of the 2021 Blanco de Parcela Fuente de las Hontanillas is as far removed from the style of the reds as possible. You'd expect a sensual, ripe, generous and oaky white à la Kistler or similar, but this is delicate, low in alcohol (12.5%), soft, young and tender with an appley nose and a light and austere palate with pungent flavors and acidity (pH 3.0 and 6.92 grams of acidity), sharp and dry. It's a blend of Verdejo and Albillo that matured in barrel for 10 months, but the oak is unnoticeable. 6,500 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2022.

Features

Description

Aalto Blanco de Parcela is an exceptional wine that reflects the mastery and vision of Mariano García, founder of Aalto Bodegas y Viñedos. This wine is a tribute to the diversity and richness of the terroirs of Ribera del Duero, standing out for its complexity and structure.

Winemaking

Made exclusively with the Verdejo variety, the Aalto Blanco de Parcela comes from vineyards with limestone-rich soils, located at an altitude of 800 metres. These vineyards, which are approximately 10 years old, are cultivated in a sustainable manner, ensuring a deep respect for the environment and the quality of the grapes.
The winemaking of this wine is a carefully orchestrated process. The grapes are harvested by hand, rigorously selecting the best bunches. Fermentation takes place in 500-litre French oak barrels, a method that gives the wine a unique complexity and texture. Ageing, also in 500-litre French oak barrels, lasts 10 months, during which time the wine acquires its distinctive character.
Taste
Aalto Blanco de Parcela is a wine that surprises with its initial richness and opulence, but quickly reveals a surprising freshness and moderate alcohol. This balance is achieved by harvesting the grapes at the exact point of physiological ripeness. The result is a wine that perfectly combines the power and structure typical of Ribera del Duero wines with exceptional purity and freshness.
