The white 2023 Trascuevas Blanco is a blend of grapes from three plots in Baños de Ebro, Samaniego and Ábalos and is 85% Viura, 10% Palomino Fino and 5% Malvasía Riojana. It fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured with equal parts in concrete and 600-liter oak foudres for 11 months. It has moderate ripeness and a floral personality and is clean, young and pale, with some green tints. It has 13.1% alcohol and a low pH of 3.12 that indicates very good freshness in the wine. It's floral and elegant, with no oak in the aromas or flavors, and it has an elegant profile, with purity and balance. It finishes dry and serious, with a with a chalky sensation.

Perfect with oysters, grilled fish, light seafood dishes, or creamy cheeses, it captures the unique personality of Rioja Alavesa while remaining bright, approachable, and food-friendly.
