The Viura grape, used to make this wine, comes from Pago Capellanía, a 6-hectare vineyard located in the highest part of Finca Ygay. Thanks to the altitude, the exceptional quality of its calcareous soils, and the low yields from the more than 70-year-old vines, the variety reaches its full potential.

Manual harvest, sorting table, and fermentation at low temperatures—every step in the production of Capellanía is designed to achieve the highest expression of the variety. Its balanced aging in French oak barrels adds precision, making Capellanía an incredibly food-friendly wine.

The grapes are destemmed and gently crushed. After passing through the sorting table, they are pressed, with a brief contact with the skins to favor the extraction of their aromatic potential. The must, free from solids and after clarification, ferments in a concrete tank at 10°C.

The wine is aged for 23 months in 225-liter Allier French oak barrels and 13 months in concrete tanks.

The nose is refined, with aromas of white stone fruit accompanied by notes of fennel, pine nuts, bay leaf, and hazelnut skin. Smoky and mineral flashes envelop the elegant ensemble. On the palate, the fruit is precise, with a fluid texture. Pure balance.

Perfect for pairing with fresh durum wheat pasta in ravioli, aged ham and black truffle sauce; Bágoa tear peas and organic egg yolk; white shrimp tartare, Imperial caviar, and roasted head juice; white truffle aged risotto, foie gras, and roasted pigeon sauce.
