  Not particularly exciting. From reading previous tasters and also from the importer's web site I thought this would be a wine for the long term, but it actually felt a little tired. Poor QPR.

  An interesting Semillon-Sauvignon blend made in northeast of Spain. Pale lemon in the glass. Great nose, well-representative of both grapes - yellow/green apple, gooseberry, grape stalks, peach and hints of lees contact. When just opened, the weighty character of Semillon dominates, but with air, more of the freshness and tanginess of the Sauvignon come out. Needs a bit of bottle aging to integrate more, but this will glow in 1-2 years. A very well-made wine, but the price tag could be a turn-off. Tough to sell a white wine from a region that nobody's ever heard of. Hope the succeed in establishing themselves on the market.

  Helt okej men saknade lite djup för pengarna. Kanske skulle behöva ligga några år?

  Ensamblaje de sauvignon blanc (85%) y semillon. Parte del vino fermenta en barricas nuevas de roble francés con cierto tiempo de crianza sobre sus lías el resto en pequeñas tinas de INOX de 25 Hl y lagares de piedra del s. XII. Comienza con una ligera reducción para dar paso a notas de fruta con hueso, matices cítricos y cierta mineralidad. En boca recupera el carácter cítrico, con una acidez intensa, algo secante, vertical y afilado. Le vendrán bien unos años de botella.
