The Valtuille Villegas 2022 comes from a vineyard on sandy soils near Raúl Pérez’s home, in a location that tends to produce more elegant wines. It was fermented with 100% whole clusters and macerated for 60 days in oak barrels. It is floral and elegant, a constant characteristic here; the vineyard is protected by some pine trees, and the grapes are less exposed to the sun. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, the tannins are very fine, and the wine shows excellent balance. It has 13.29% alcohol content with a pH of 3.58 and 5.09 grams of acidity. It is elegant, fine and precise. 1,300 bottles were produced from two 500-liter barrels. It was bottled in May 2024.
