White

One of several viñedo singular wines produced by the Valdelana family in Elciego. A complex and unique blend of Viura and other white varieties from a vineyard planted in 1935. The wine goes through carbonic maceration and remains in contact with the skins until the end of fermentation. It then spends a year in barrel on its lees. Beth Willard: Very fresh aromas of cut grass, wild fennel, mint and mountain herbs. The palate offers a waxy texture with lovely layers of lemon curd and quince. Expressive and lively. Matthew Forster MW: Lifted marzipan aromatics, with stewed crab apple. Yellow apple fruit with a caramel edged finish. A trace of oxidation lends complexity. Pierre Mansour: Marked new oak and spicy vanilla. Intense and beautifully structured, with understated fruit. Great ageing potential.
