Akilia K

The wine previously known as K has been renamed to the name of the paraje, a name that it already carried in the beginning. So, this time I tasted the 2019 Valdesacia Palomino, produced with grapes from 116-year-old vines on slate and quartzite soils at high altitude, where the old vines always have a field blend and this has some Doña Blanca. It's produced like the other white: after four days in contact with the skins, it fermented with indigenous yeasts in concrete vats, where it matured for five months. This has a deeper golden color and a sherry-like nose with yeast and spicy notes and a dry, serious, mineral and salty palate. A white for geeks. Only 540 bottles were filled in February 2020.
