The vineyards at Bodegas Palacios Remondo, located in the Rioja Baja D.O., are organically farmed and the wines are bottled unfiltered and unfined. The 2005 Placet Blanco is made from 100% Viura aged in large old oak foudres. It has attractive lemon/lime aromas with a touch of honey along with abundant quantities of ripe, melon-like fruit. The wine has sufficient acidity and good length. Drink it over the next 1-2 years. Importer: Rare Wine Co., Sonoma, CA; tel. (707) 996-4484
