Description

VINTAGE:

The crop year presented a water deficit from the previous season. Autumn passed with mild temperatures and little rainfall.

We began the year 2022 with higher than normal temperatures, and it was not until mid-January that the night temperatures dropped sharply, producing heavy frosts and sunny midday. This situation lasted until the end of February. Between January and February, rainfall was very scarce (less than 20 liters).

March ended with instability, cool weather and some rains that mitigated the drought suffered by the countryside.

Spring began with a drop in temperatures, finally delaying budbreak and allowing us to avoid the spring frost period. In mid-May there was a heat wave with temperatures up to 30ºC, one of the driest months of May in the last decade. June and July were characterized by intense heat waves, with no rainfall, making them the warmest months on record. Harvest began in early September.

HARVEST:

Oak-ripened white wine mostly from our Verdejo grape vineyards in the Fuente de las Hontanillas plot (Quintanilla de Arriba - Valladolid) at an altitude of over 850 meters above sea level. Other varieties: godello and albillo also present, but in smaller percentage.

TASTING NOTES:

Aalto Blanco de Parcela is a very fresh wine with ample volume in the mouth given by its stay in 500-liter bocois. The nose is characterized by its fruity aromas of red apple with a touch of citrus notes.

About Aalto Bodegas y Viñedos

AALTO was born in 1999 in the prestigious wine region of Ribera del Duero (Spain). The founding objective of Mariano Garcia and Javier Zaccagnini in AALTO was to produce a wine that showed a distinct personality, of very high quality and a faithful reflection of different villages, assembling them at the end of the aging process to gain balance and complexity. Mariano García made his first vintage in 1968 at Vega Sicilia, where he developed his professional work as technical director of this winery for 30 years. As winemaker, Mariano García rigorously controls yields, respects the grapes to the maximum and his philosophy of minimal intervention pursues the maximum expression of the terroir of each plot. His wines combine power and structure with elegance and complexity.

From the beginning in 1999 until the 2004 harvest, the winemaking was carried out in rented facilities in Roa (Burgos). While the project was being consolidated, the search for a new site for a new winery began. A beautiful 15-hectare plot in the municipality of Quintanilla de Arriba (Valladolid) was chosen.

Aalto's winery in Quintanilla de Arriba

The first phase of the new winery was completed in 2005, being this vintage the first to be produced in these facilities.

The winery currently controls 130 hectares of old vines of native clones of Tinto Fino, distributed in more than 200 plots located in 9 different municipalities, belonging to the Duero Denomination of Origin.

Due to the differences in altitude and climate, the vineyards in each municipality have different optimum ripening dates and are harvested individually. Each vineyard, whether owned or leased, is cultivated following the strict guidelines of the winemakers throughout the year, with cultivation without herbicides or chemical fertilizers, short pruning and with all cultivation operations focused on quality.

The age of the old vines ranges from 40 to 100 years old, with very low yields and exceptional quality.
