This is Jorge Navascués' first vintage in charge, taking over from long-time head winemaker Jésus de Madrazo. This is a delicious unoaked blend of Viura and Garnacha Blanca, showing super clarity and ripeness of tart green apple fruit, with tension from the lemon sherbet acidity. Will age well. Classy and classic.
