The Vineyard

The "Los Terreros" parcel, with over six decades of history, offers a Viura of great depth. The calcareous marl provides structure, salinity, and tension, while dry farming and the age of the vineyard concentrate nuance and character.

Tasting Notes

Bright yellow color with golden reflections. On the nose, it shows ripe white fruit, citrus nuances, and a distinct mineral background, accompanied by subtle hints of aging on lees.

On the palate, it is ample, precise, and enveloping. The acidity balances the volume, providing freshness and length. Persistent finish, with an elegant mineral aftertaste and creamy texture.

Food Pairing

Ideal with baked fish, seafood, seafood rice dishes, seasonal cuisine, and soft or semi-cured cheeses.

An old-vine Rioja white that combines depth and finesse. Very limited production and respectful winemaking to clearly express the character of its origin.
