  By the glass. Blend of 45% Viura, 30% Malvasia and 25% Garnacha blanca.
  12.5% ABV. Grapes from the Rioja Alta sub-area aged in barrels for about eleven months in contact with their lees. Wine quite mineral both on the nose and in the mouth. It also provides exotic aromas and spices (white pepper and ginger), Lapsang tea essence or limestone mineral. The palate is soft, with an abundant silky texture and a disputed acidity. Again a mineral finish. Elusive aftertaste.
  
  Por copas. Ensamblaje de un 45% de Viura, 30% Malvasía y un 25% Garnacha blanca.
  12.5% de volumen alcohólico. Uvas procedentes de la subzona de la Rioja Alta.
  Envejecen en barrica unos once meses en contacto con sus lías. Vino bastante mineral tanto en nariz como en boca. Además proporciona aromas exóticos y especias (pimienta blanca y jengibre), esencia de té lapsang o mineral calizo. Al paladar se muestra suave, de una abundante textura sedosa y una discutida acidez. De nuevo un final mineral. Esquivo regusto.

  Lively fresh fruit; white peach, pear a bit of citrus. Generous oak but it fits in pretty nicely.
