Opinión de los críticos
Suggesting that this is a white blend that gets better with more time in bottle, Fuente de Las Hontanillas is an innovative combination of Verdejo and 18.5% each of Godello and Albillo Mayor that is produced "outside" the Ribera del Duero denominación de origen but is still one of the region's most exciting whites. Focused, refreshing and well structured, it has stylish 33% new wood, layers of quince, beeswax and mountain herbs and a pithy lemongrass f inish. 2025-30
Fine toast aromas add subtle sweetness, creaminess and white fruit. Lightly chalky and taut, with a full body and concentration. The acidity is high but rather mellow, without sharpness. This is fresh, full and vinous, with a saline tang at the end. Mostly verdejo with some godello and albillo. Drink or hold. (Zekun Shuai)
The white 2023 Blanco de Parcela Fuente de las Hontanillas was produced with an unusual blend of Verdejo, Albillo Mayor and Godello grapes matured in barrel for 10 months. It has a little more color but lower alcohol than the previous vintage, denoting contained ripeness and a less warm year with 12.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.39 and 5.76 grams of acidity. It's spicy and smoky and has a fine texture, and it's chalky, tasty and sapid, with a clean finish. 13,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2024. (Luis Gutiérrez)
En 1998 Mariano García y Javier Zaccagnini, director de la D.O. Ribera del Duero durante 6 años, decidieron unir su experiencia para alumbrar Aalto.
