The white 2022 Blanco, produced with vines at high altitudes (between 605 and 805 meters above sea level). It's ripe, expressive and aromatic, with notes of acacia flowers, white fruit and pepper. It's tender and juicy, with spiciness and a creamy twist and ripeness reflecting the character of the very dry and warm year with 14.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.24 and 5.68 grams of acidity. It has a round and fleshy mouthfeel. It mixes varieties and different vinifications and matured in used barriques, foudres and concrete eggs for one year. 11,430 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2024.

The 2022 Blanco Remelluri from Rioja Alavesa is a blend of Viura, Garnacha Blanca and Torrontés. Aged 12 months in seasoned barrels, foudres and 1,200-liter concrete eggs, followed by an 8-month blending period, it's a pale greenish yellow in hue and presents aromas of mild vanilla, herbs, water pear, orange blossom and delicate florals. Creamy and smooth in texture, with intense flavor and a rounded flow, the lengthy finish is driven by the interplay between the fruit and oak. The 2022 is a layered white with lasting character.


Vinification – Bunches are hand-selected in the vineyard and fermented with indigenous yeasts in wooden barrels and cement tanks of various sizes, with the different plots kept separate. These separate plots are then aged for 12 months in barrels, foudres, and 1200L concrete eggs. Afterward, the wine is blended and aged for a further eight months in oak barrels.
