Vintage
The vintage has been much better than expected. Although the year began with a lot of precipitation and the spring was rainy and warm, it was necessary to exercise extreme caution against fungal diseases. The year improved in the summer months as it was accompanied by dry, hot weather that favoured both good sanitary conditions and phenolic maturation. The expected result is very hopeful and with very structured and powerful wines.

Tasting notes
Colour
Clean and bright, yellow where golden hues begin to appear
Nose
The varietal profile of the Viura, the work on the lees and the presence of wood both on the nose and on the palate makes the whole wine extraordinarily complex.
Mouth
It is fatty and broad on the palate, where an extraordinary aging potential can be guessed.
Pairing
Perfect to be paired with all kind of cheese, blue fish, white meet or rice dishes
D.O
D.O. Ca. Rioja (Alavesa)
