This fleshy, classy white is crafted from 100-plus-year-old vines of Viura (70%) and Garnacha Blanca (30%). It is sourced from four ancient and low-yielding highland vineyards around Rodezno, Haro and Villalba. After a wild ferment, the wine was aged on lees in Russian, steam-bent, untoasted oak barrels (a fine-grained Caucasian wood that allows for excellent balance between fruit and oak) for nine months.

Reviews

"Following the established Valenciso assemblage of Viura and 30% Garnacha Blanca, fermented in oak with malolactic, this is the latest in a series of superb white wines from this family-owned bodega. Waxy, textured and leesy, with subtle aniseed and vanilla spices, zesty underlying acidity and a focused, tapering finish."
