The 2024 Palo Blanco was a little difficult to taste, as the nose seemed to have been suffering a little from the recent bottling. It fermented in concrete without temperature control, and then most of the wine matured in foudre and the rest in 350-liter used barrels. The year was quite homogeneous in the zone for the whites, they got very good yields and balanced wines. The palate is stunning—chalky but with elegance. The roots from the centenary cordon trenzado vines seem to have extracted all the minerality from the soils, and the wine is eminently stony. This is not a small cuvée: they produced some 13,000 bottles of this. It was bottled in July 2025.co is sourced from a tiny, steeply pitched 1.5ha vineyard of centenarian cordon trenzado (braided vines) Listan Blanco at 600m elevation. Grapes are hand-harvested, pressed full cluster into a large concrete tank and fermented without malolactic occurring, then raised in two Friulian 2500L oval foudres for 10 months. Bottling is without fining or filtration.
