2022 Jose Pariente Prieto Pariente Viognier

Prieto Pariente is a new wine project initiated and led by Martina and Ignacio Prieto Pariente, and supported by the knowledge and experience of the second generation of the Prieto wine family. The core of this new challenge is based on the selection of very old vineyards in the province of Valladolid. Martina and Ignacio strongly believe in sustainable viticulture and in respecting the origin.

Difference, territory, and selection define the wines of Prieto Pariente. The house identifies with regions such as Castilla y León, Valladolid, the Paramos plateau of Northern Spain, and the mineral hills of Cebreros and Bierzo that surround the region. Prieto Pariente aims to create wines with unique personalities, possessing distinctiveness and characterized by a profile of freshness and complexity.

The grapes for Prieto Pariente wines come from old, very low-yield vineyards located in Castile and León, in the province of Valladolid and the Sierra de Gredos mountain range. In Valladolid, the vineyards are situated in three different villages: Mucientes, Pedrosa del Rey, and Valbuena de Duero. Each plot is fermented separately, allowing the most suitable blend to be selected for each of the wines. This 100% Viognier is a spontaneously fermented wine, aged partly in stainless steel tanks and partly in 300L French oak barrels. The wine is aged for 6 months.

A small, hidden Viognier vineyard was discovered while exploring the province of Valladolid. An aromatic wine, with great volume and full of flavor. On the nose, this vibrant Viognier presents complex aromas of tropical fruit, vanilla, and a light spiciness. On the palate, due to the advanced age of the vines, this Jose Pariente offers pleasant minerality alongside fresh elements, with an impressively beautiful finish. With the Prieto Pariente estate, a long-cherished wish of Martina and Ignacio Prieto Pariente has come true.
