A classy wine that neatly balances wet stone, lemon pith and delicate oak. From vines at 600m on mostly clay-loam soils, 95% Viura and 5% Malvasía are fermented in French oak barrels then aged in those barrels and large casks for eight months, with lees stirring twice a week. The wine is textured and chiselled but also offers a certain generosity on the palate that speaks to a particular type of Riojan balance. Despite its age, it displays an impressive tension that will slowly open over the coming years. A wine of its region and vintage.
