Pale gold colour. Medium (-) and developing nose with green apples, lemon, mushrooms, honey, caramel, olives, almond and walnut. Medium (+) taste of green apples, lemon, mushrooms, honey, caramel, olives and almond. Long and dry finish. High acidity. Medium body. A very good Rioja White with a twist of 10% Sherry that provides complexity. Drink now or over the next five years. Goes well with cured meat, fish or shellfish.

I got some definite petrol on the nose and palate which was totally unexpected and not mentioned in any of the reviews I read so not sure what that means. As was expected some green apple, lemon, minerals and saline.

This blend of native varietals features a predominance of Viura to which was added Manzanilla (a fortified wine matured under flor). The result? A puzzling wine combining grilled and fruity notes (ripe apple, hazelnut and white fruit) to an intriguing saltiness.

Superbe nez. Superbe.
Bouche incisive et unidimensionnelle, végétale et acide.
Sans façon.
