Drinking Window: 2023 - 2027
A blend of rare Maturana Blanca and Tempranillo Blanco, planted at 450m in northern Rioja. Fermented in concrete; light oak ageing adds texture to a full-bodied palate. Layers of ripe honeyed citrus, preserved lemon, grapefruit, nuts and herbs underpinned by vibrant acidity with a brisk saline finish. An assured debut. Vegan.
