Fruity

The estate’s only white wine, Placet reveals the nobility of Viura grapes planted on the limestone hillsides of Valtomelloso. The nose is extremely refined, evoking almond blossom, white pear, and a hint of anise. On the palate, the silky texture is balanced with saline tension and remarkable length. Aged on fine lees in barrels, it gains volume and complexity without losing its freshness.
This gastronomic white wine is reminiscent at times of the great vintages of southern Burgundy. It combines the precision of a terroir wine with Mediterranean elegance. Its lemony and mineral finish prolongs the pleasure with refined dishes. Perfect with noble fish, a creamy risotto, or truffled poultry. Placet 2021 embodies the luminous purity of contemporary white Rioja.

Nestled in the southeast of Rioja, in the Ebro Valley, Bodega Palacios Remondo is the winemaking soul of the Palacios family, whose roots run deep into the region’s history. Here, the landscape stretches across sunny hills and clay-limestone soils, swept by Mediterranean winds that bring warmth and light. Rioja Oriental (formerly Rioja Baja) is distinguished by its more temperate climate and generous character, conducive to the fruity expression of Garnacha. Under the leadership of Álvaro Palacios, an emblematic figure of the Spanish revival, the estate has rediscovered an identity rooted in tradition yet driven by modern precision.
The 100 hectares of the estate are cultivated organically, with the greatest respect for biodiversity. The vines, often old, are rooted in soils that combine gravel, sand, and limestone, promoting a slow and balanced ripening of the grapes. The vinification is gentle, respectful of the fruit, and the aging in old barrels lends depth and elegance without ever dominating.
Palacios Remondo seeks to express the truth of the Alto Najerilla terroir, where Garnacha achieves an unexpected refinement. Each vintage embodies a different facet of this luminous landscape: the spontaneity of the fruit in La Vendimia, the silky roundness of La Montesa, the vibrant complexity of Propriedad, or the crystalline purity of Placet.
The estate has established itself as a model of regenerative viticulture and respect for the soil, redefining the style of contemporary Rioja: finer, more floral, more transparent. The wines are both accessible and profound, driven by Mediterranean energy and Atlantic grace. In short, Palacios Remondo embodies the perfect synthesis of ancestral terroir and avant-garde vision.
