"I was eager to taste the 2021 Quiñón de Valmira, which I had tasted as a very young sample one year before it was bottled. It was very promising then, and 2021 is revealing itself as one of the finest vintages in recent years in Rioja. It has a floral and perfumed nose, with high-pitched raspberry and violet notes, a hint of exotic spices (curry) and has a savory feeling to it. It has terrific balance, very fine tannins, perfect ripeness and harmony, combining elegance and power while feeling light on its feet. Another superb showing of Valmira, which states on the label the Viñedo Singular moniker. It's 85% Garnacha and 15% other traditional varieties, with 14% a pH of 3.46 and 5.5 grams of acidity. It was fermented in oak vat and matured in oak foudre for 12 months. 4,497 bottles produced. It was bottled the February 17, 2023." 99pts Luis Gutiérrez The Wine Advocate
