TASTING

100% Viura from the El Somo and La Hoya vineyards, both of which are over 80 years old. After being harvested into crates, the grapes were selected at the bodega, destalked, pressed and cold-racked. Vinification in a Ganymede tank for greater extraction of aroma and colour was followed by fermentation on its own lees in new French and American oak barrels, with lees stirring every two days. It was bottled in January 2010 and went on sale in August.

Colour: clean straw colour, very greenish, bright and very vivacious.
Nose: Noble and fine dark roasted notes, aniseed and fennel, ripe red peach, fresh mint, which refreshes the nose, ripe banana and an end to talk about.
Mouth: well rounded, great volume and well balanced. Good entry, very fresh passage in the mouth and at the end, with great sharpness leaving a good deal of white fruit and a mineral background, the fruit repeating.
Goes with white meat and even lamb, rice dishes and fish of all types.
