- Intense, fruity notes of zesty citrus, ripe apple, and pear are complemented by white floral blossom and mineral nuances. Fresh and beautifully balanced, with a creamy texture and a long finish.
The grapes underwent a gentle pressing process in an environment without oxygen to prevent the loss of aromas. To maintain the fruit's purity, fermentation occurred naturally with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures. The wine was then aged in stainless steel vats on its fine lees for four months, with regular stirring to enhance its mouthfeel. The resulting wine exhibits intense, fruity notes of zesty citrus, ripe apple, pear and hints of white floral blossom and mineral undertones. It is fresh, well-balanced, and creamy, leading to a long, satisfying finish.

Winery | The Tempranillo Blanco grapes are grown in the cool-climate sub-regovernations of the Iregua Valley and the mountainous areas of Nalda, Albelda, and Clavijo. The warm days and cool nights prolong the ripening period and preserve aromatic richness in the fruit. The soils are made up of a mixture of ferrous clay and calcareous clay. The soils are generally deep with sandy components, impart agility and depth to the wine. The Tempranillo Blanco variety produces few clusters, which means it ripens quickly, this trait is balanced by the soils which impart natural freshness. The vineyards are farmed using sustainable methods; chemical sprays are not used, instead organic products are employed to protect the environment and biodiversity of the vineyard. This sustainable approach encourages the best expression of the terroir and is a true reflection of the aromas and flavours of the white Rioja grape varieties. The grapes are hand-harvested at optimal phenolic maturity. |
