Beautifully crafted 100% Garnacha Blanca, which is sourced from a 0.6ha plot of bush vines at 520m. Here the oak is very judiciously used with fine grain that brings delicate smoky scaffolding to the wine, which was fermented in a stainless steel tank then rested for 10 months, with twice-weekly batonnage, in a fifth-use 500L French oak barrel. The acid is elegant and fine with a green apple mouthwatering finish. Lemon, pear, white floral aromas point to the variety but the structure is decidedly northern and from a cooler zone of Rioja. It will develop further in bottle.
