Description

Viura comes from 60-year-old vines, grown in the traditional bush-trained style, at altitudes above 600 meters in Rioja Alta. Tempranillo Blanco is cultivated in clay-rich soils, while Sauvignon Blanc hails from fresh, calcareous soils in the easternmost part of the Denomination of Origin, at elevations above 700 meters.

The harvest is done manually, with each grape variety vinified separately. After destemming, the grapes undergo a period of cold maceration in contact with their skins to extract the primary aromas. Gentle pressing follows, with a static clarification in an inert atmosphere to obtain a clean, aromatic must. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks and flexitanks at low temperatures to preserve the fresh character of the fruit. After fermentation, the wine is transferred into new French oak barrels, lightly toasted, to finish the fermentative process.

Partial malolactic fermentation occurs in both the Viura and Tempranillo Blanco. The wine is aged on the lees, with constant bâtonnage for four months, ensuring the development of a smooth, glyceric texture. Once the process is complete, numerous tastings are conducted to determine the final blend.

Appearance: Brilliant, pale yellow with lemon-colored reflections.
Nose: Noble and elegant, with intense aromas of white flowers. As it evolves with oxygen exposure, notes of stone fruits emerge, along with balsamic undertones and delicate sweet notes. The fragrance is completed by hints of toasted bread and creamy textures.
Palate: Smooth, elegant, and fresh with excellent acidity that ensures the wine's longevity. It presents a harmonious balance, with flashes of white fruit and pastry-like notes. The finish is long and glyceric, with the quality oak taking center stage. This wine is exceptionally complex, structured, and elegant.

This wine is incredibly versatile at the table, offering a magnificent gastronomic pairing potential thanks to its extraordinary complexity. Its bold character makes it ideal for a wide range of dishes, from fish and foie gras to meats, aged cheeses, and even Iberian cured meats. With remarkable aging potential, it will continue to evolve and thrive in the bottle for many years to come.
